Family note

What makes this ours

This is a long-tem family favorite of the Martell's and was made at Christmas time under the supervision of Dad. Lots of memories of Dad with this cookie recipe. Teresa The least favorite part was cutting up the dates, but then they came out with prechopped dates. Halleluiah! Marie 1965
