Butter Cookies

Aunt Connie bid goodbye to us after Thanksgiving as she tucked a tin of Danish butter cookies into our car. The professor and I like to enjoy them with tea on a chilly evening. The boys will eat as many as I will allow... just as I did as a girl...

My grandmother always kept a tin of these cookies on her kitchen counter. Whenever my sisters and I spent time at her house and in her kitchen we too would fill our hands and tummies with these little cookies.

Seeing, smelling, and tasting them this week has brought back a flood of sweet memories.
