In our family, we would occasionally eat cake and more often eat pie, but we frequently had cookies and this was one of our favorites. My mom got this recipe from her sister, over fifty years ago and it's been on our table for holidays and for snacks ever since. I recently had a friend of our youngest son say, "These are great and I don't normally like cookies." Coming from a teenage, that's a real compliment.
