Reviews
These cookies have been in my family for generations too. Delicious! They have always been my favorite Christmas cookies and as a child I would convince my mom to make then year-round for me. The directions should say cut with a round (circle) cookie cutter. You get the bell shape by folding the edges over the filling.
