These are my favorite cookies and this is my third year to make them. The Rae Rae and Nana made them together on Sunday afternoon. She said she was a good "pourer" and was so proud of herself for helping to make cookies. She sat on a stool in front of the oven and watched them bake through the window. It was a great afternoon with my Granddaughter.
