Mrs Carlsons Everyday Cookies Recipes

This is a light, melt- in- your- mouth cookie. I immediately asked for recipe after tasting it. If you take it to a gathering , someone will ask you for the recipe. The recipe originally came from The Chicago Tribune newspaper many years ago.

This recipe comes from a wonderful lady who lived down the street from me when I was growing up. She went to our church so I often saw her. My family lived on a cul-de-sac and I remember my sisters and I traveling down to visit her. Her children were long since grown and I think she appreciated the visits as much as we kids did. She would feed us these cookies and fortunately she passed the recipe to my mother. It's been more than twenty years since we lived on that street. However, we still see Ms. Carlson at church. She was there to see my older sister married and the baptism of our family's first grandchild. She is now in her late 80's and I fear time is short. Yet I hope that perhaps a new generation will appreciate the cookies she set out with care for her special guests, the three sisters from up the road. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did/do.
