Recipes from Cecil Sherwood

From Jannet Arrington Hatch - It seemed like every time we went to grandma’s house, she had these cookies in the fridge for us to eat! Attached you should find a couple of my favorites from Cecil Sherwood! I always wondered how she kept the cookies in the fridge when Grandpa was diabetic. We can’t stop eating them once they are made!
