I love these cookies. I make them every year. My Grandma used to make them as a kid and for some reason they are linked in my head with the song "For we need a little Christmas right this very moment. We need...." Walmart is using that song in one of their commercials this year and every time it comes on, I crave these cookies. Oh, and you better believe they are definitely fattening and only for once a year! Time to go buy butter......at Walmart. :o)
