We made a double batch exactly as written and it came out perfectly. Great recipe! Thank you for posting.

These were very easy to whip up. They would be a great addition to a last minute holiday cookie tray. After you have made them and they are cooling you have time to get ready yourself before the party starts. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag game 2010

Raised in a family of 9 this recipe was as much a staple as bread. Exactly as I remember except I also added the coconut. Thanks for sharing, my kids will have this treat on their lunches tomorrow.
