Just like Mom used to makeJuly 11, 2009By kkmann_2001
"These cookies are exactly the same recipe that I was raised with. They are my favorite Summertime cookie and a favorite of all of the neighborhood children. My mom used ""oleo"", but otherwise.... I like the addition of the grated lemon peel - As a lemon fan, I sometimes thought that the cookies could use just a bit more lemon flavor. Thanks Diana!"
