Just Like Ma's

These are the kind of cookies my ma made. No, not for every day. The special occasion cookies for holidays, bridal and baby showers, weddings, funerals, and graduations. The texture is soft, almost like cake and usually flavored with anise, a bit of frosting and some colorful sprinkles.

To celebrate the rain, I baked a batch yesterday, but didn't use Ma's recipe. The Grandmaster gave me her recipe. The Grandmaster's cookies are like Ma's only better. Shhh, don't tell Ma!
