Personal Notes:
My mom (Anne Toland) was my inspiration for this book, and this was one of her favorite cookie recipes. When I would see her making these, she had to guard the refrigerator so that I wouldn't chop off some of the cookie dough. One morning she was not happy to see that the long roll had somehow shrunk to a few inches.
