When I was growing up these were my dad's favorite cookie so we all came to love them. Now I am sharing them with my own family. Sometimes they get too hard from either over-baking or just being out too long. All you have to do to remedy this is to put a small piece of apple or an orange peel in the closed container with the cookies. Be careful not to have the fruit touch the cookies - it will almost melt them. Enjoy & make enough to share. :O)

Excellent, timeless recipe, but skip the water droplets part -- this makes the sugar look very strange on top.

FANTASTIC! Made these for Christmas this year and everyone LOVED them. All 48 of them were gone in less than two days. Huge hit, definitely recommend them.
