My aunt used to make these when I was growing up, and I think she got the recipe from her grandmother. They're kind of an old-fashioned cookie: I see them sometimes in those catalogs that sell old-timey, discontinued foods and household goods. They make me think of the 1940s, maybe sitting at a Formica table after school with a plate of these homemade cookies and a glass of cold milk.
