Lisa I have Grandmas recipe for rolls. I have had that recipe in my box since I was in 8th grade and she taught me how to make them...although I have to say hers are still the best!

Lisa: The real credit goes to Aunt Joan, shes the one that forwarded the recipe to me, and asked me to put it on the website.

Michelle: If you get a chance, would you mind e-mailing me the recipe so I can put it up here?!

Thanks!

Just so you know some incredibly smart person eliminated the whole meat grinder aspect of the recipe! You can safely make these cookies and even have your girls help!
