This post brought back some fond memories. My MIL did all the cooking and baking. After she died my FIL learned to make these cookies. He was so proud of himself.
(After she died he found a cooking class for men only, sponsored by a nearby church. He went and learned the basics of cooking. I always thought that was a great outreach program for that church. I guess it's not so true today, but in his lifetime there was a clear division of household chores between the men and women. He could heat up a meal in the microwave, but that was about it! )
