NOTES : Darrlyn Reynolds of Poquoson. Reynolds is of Croatian descent. The
recipe is a hand-me-down from the "Old Country," taught to her by her
mother. "This cookie is a loving tribute to the memory of my mother; but
more importantly, each cookie is a prayer for peace for all people
everywhere living in war-torn nations." Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #7
