Personal Notes:
I found this recipe while looking through my Mom, Doris Menard's, recipe box. It had just the ingredients listed, with 'Work by hand. 12-15 min'. Someone else had added 350 degrees. The first time I made it, along with my 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter Marley, they turned out perfectly!
