A comfort food recipe

Todays thought for me is about comfort food. I remember these cookies have always been in our repertoire but for the last couple of years where have they been? My tastes and cooking methods may have grown more complicated but these make you feel like a child again. I even remember that these used to be served at the school cafeteria back in the day when there were a bunch of older ladies actually COOKING the food. God bless them all-my children hear so much about me and my love of the "Cafeteria Ladies of Fort Worth". Maybe I should write about them. Meanwhile, Enjoy!!!
