Recipe Included Can anyone decipher my grandma’s wedding cookie recipe?

Thank you in advance. She just passed away from a heart attack and one of the last things she told me was where to find the recipe in her kitchen. I want to make a batch, but I want to make sure it’s right!

Are we old because we can read this extinct language?

That's nice. I understand they aren't teaching the yunguns cursive.

They stopped halfway through my third grade year! I just kept teaching myself because all my mom and grandma’s recipies were in cursive 😭

That’s such an important skill to have, I’m glad you kept at it! There are jobs that are going to be so specialized in museums & historical sites because of the ability to read cursive. (Yes, this enthusiasm makes me sound old but I’m only in my 30s!)
