Thank you so much for posting this recipe! My husband's grandmother gave me some of her cookie recipes and she had this exact recipe, but I wasn't sure about some of her notes and I wanted to double check so I looked online and here it is! She is also from the Chicago area so I bet she found this in the newspaper too!
