A treasured memory of Christmas at Great-Aunt Elizabeth's house was a cookie that I never learned to eat in moderation. Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the first things I would say upon arrival was, "I'm hungry" hoping that these cookies would appear. Much to my delight they usually did, and in fact, began also to appear at Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and any other time we got together to celebrate.

What can I say but delicious. Made this Jewish cookie the first time in my life, and I was impressed! Definitely a sweet cake. If you have a sweet tooth like I do, you will love it.
