Boyertown area resident Donna Stauffer shared this 100 -year old family recipe. She explains: “My husband's grandmother use to make these cookies and they became the family favorite. The recipe is probably over 100 years old. We call them Mammy Stauffer's cookies. I have been making them for over 60 years, but my family still says they are not like Mammy Stauffer’s....I think I do just fine!”
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
