Cheese Cookies
Nadine Miller Smeyne
The idea for these tiny little nuggets comes from the cookbook created by the Fredericksburg Junior Women’s Club in 1968, or so. However, Mema, I soon discovered, had a variation on the Women’s Club theme. The book, as seen here, is cute, but the recipe is not nearly so interesting. I have adopted Mema’s recipe that I pass on to you.
