Would make this again.
Made these and my Aunt said she didn't remember giving me the recipe. They taste just like the ones shes made for 70 or more years. Will definately make them again.

I grew up with these cookies. Grandmother use to make them and mom makes them at Easter. She would use a colored glaze for the top. They used Anise oil instead of lemon. Yum Yum!Great with hot coffee.
