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.
