Christmas Cookies in Wisconsin Part 2

During the Great Depression Maria Birch’s grandparents “housed over 30 people on the farm and cookies served as Christmas treats for the guest.”  As people moved away they request her grandma's cookies as their Christmas gift and she cheerfully obliged. The list was endless, molasses cookies, gingerbread men, sugar cookies, butter cookies, spritzes, sour cream cookies, cut-out cookies, peanut butter cookies. And all of them specially decorated for the season. Birth recalled, we all participated In the cookie making business for the holidays at a desired level until people got old enough to know their way around the kitchen.
