Ragged Robin Cookies

Recipe Description

Purchased from the O'Banion Estate in Mesquite, Texas in 1984. Notation on paper indicates this is a family favorite and comes from the 1941 Purity Cookbooks. I took these to last year's cookie exchange and they were a huge hit. This is a very pretty cookie, great for gift giving.
