These were my father in laws favorite cookie. So, each year I would make him a big batch of these. he was always impressed that each cookie was exactly the same size...he didn't know each one was made into the same size ball! These are a chewy cookies if you don't over bake them. The house smells so festive when these are baking and cooling. Enjoy!
