My gandmother made these cookies all the time and they are a family favorite. So where did the name come from.....Who is Aunt Ola Mae? Ola Mae was my grandmother's cousin, who was more like a sister to her. She was a wonderful woman, always with a ready sweet smile, a gental spirit and I hold many special memories of her. This is Aunt Ola Mae's cookie recipe, passed to me by Grandma Frieda. This recipe makes A LOT of cookies, so it is great for holiday baking. Be prepared to share....or they freeze beautifully!
