Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These cookies were a specialty of my grandmother, Joan Jones. She would make them during the cold winter months, particularly at Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I was little, she would use a donut cutter to cut a small circle out of the tops so that they looked like little mincemeat volcanoes and I've called them volcano cookies ever since. My mom and my sister and I still carry on the tradition of making them for our holiday dinners.
