I found your blog after searching for carrot cake recipes...while scrolling through your pages I found the Christmas Cookie recipe...I've been on the hunt to find a recipe for these that have been passed through generations...always the best. My grandmother used to make these all the time and we can't find her recipe. Thanks for sharing yours! Sandy
