Personal Notes:
Mother got this recipe when we lived in Magnolia, Arkansas. These cookies have been made in the Ballard family every Christmas since then! They can be decorated with icing or sprinkled with colored sugar. A little (1/2 tsp.) almond extract can be added for a little different flavor.
