Personal Notes:
This is another recipe of Grandma Hoch's that is a trial and error recipe. If the dough is too soft it will not roll out properly, if it is too stiff the cookies get hard. When it is just right, you get a cookie that is great dipped in milk or coffee. I'll be honest, I rarely get my cookies to turn out like Grandma Hoch, but I keep trying, I hope you do too.
