Letters From The Time Traveler: A 200-Year-Old Cookie Recipe

Dearest,

While you have always done the baking in our home, I wanted to share something from my past, my very far past.

A 200-year-old cookie recipe from my grandmother. She always made it at the holidays and passed it down to me. Even those of modern times can make it! There is no complication with this recipe and it’s very simple.

My grandmother also made a delicious gingerbread:
