My mother made these often, and I could not find a recipe online that came close until this one. These are the "cinnamon discs" I remember from childhood. Thanks so much for the recipe.

I've been making these same cookies from my mother's recipes for the past 48-50 years. The only difference is i use white sugar, cinnamon, finely chopped walnuts and red and green christmas sugar for the rolling mixture. I also use the small pampered chef scoop. Doubled, it makes 70 cookies.
