Original Recipe from: Lucy Griffin-Bowers
My sister, Margaret, and I liked to make Press Cookies for Christmas. We would have so much fun making them together. I mixed and baked, Margaret decorated. Knowing that we were using the same recipe our grandma always baked made the whole experience that much more special. Recipes from earlier generations provide comfort and continuity to our lives. The memories of preparing and eating the food are as important as the taste and nutrition. I cherish this recipe for that very reason. Enjoy!
