These are now one of my favorite kind of cookies and I make them for any occasion (or lack thereof). They do make a great gift, and my mother loves them too. I'm sure she'd love to hear their story :) Many thanks for a wonderful recipe that's brought so much joy to me and those around me! And many thanks to Prof. de Grazia for passing the link on to you.Zhana Sandevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864972640855664533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089978711517804658.post-80851334674360463662012-09-27T14:31:18.872-04:002012-09-27T14:31:18.872-04:00Zhana!

This was so delightful for me to read -- Margreta discovered this and passed the link on to me -- since these cookies have been my go-to teacher gift since I was a child (I also gave them as favors at my wedding), and since Margreta is, hands' down, the teacher who has deserved them the very most. <br /><br />The recipe comes from my mom's mom, who acquired it from (I think) a women's magazine in the 1940s (hence the slightly kitschy name they go by in our family: Nut Babies). She made them every Christmas as one of the NINE varieties of cookies she baked and mailed, in quantity, to each of her NINE children. All the cookies were good, but these were the undisputed stars. I'm so glad you make and love them.Cathynoreply@blogger.com
