Fairy Tale Cookies

i had been searching high and low for this very specific recipe. i eventually found it with a friend...it is her great grandmother's recipes, c. 1870s. it was so easy to make! i made valentine's themed cookies. they are lovely, soft, sweet and a bit salty. with a mini heart and pink sparkles, they truly looked like a fairy tale. they are also known as grandma hattie's merry cookies.
