My mom who passed last year at the age of 95 made these every Christmas. She brought this recipe with her from England in the 40s when they moved to the States. They were always a favorite for family gatherings and baked goods for friends. When my brother served in Viet Nam, Mom made these shortbread cookies and would send them to him so he could have a part of home with him. I remember helping her make these, measuring ever so carefully and they are always so delicious!
