I remember these cookies growing up and to this day they are still my favorite. My mom and dad came through town this last week and my mom brought these and a homemade loaf of banana bread. It was really funny because I was just talking to a co-worker the week before about these amazing cookies that my mom always made me growing up. I couldn’t remember the name of the cookie, nor describe how they taste, besides delicious. I handed them out to a few of my co-workers and it was a universal thumbs up for this recipe, and no one could find the right words to describe them because they are so different than anything you have ever tasted. They are light, fluffy, buttery, sugar, and amazing, and that’s about the only way I can think of these delicious treats. You can color the frosting with any color of food coloring, but my mom always made it pink or a light peperminty green, enjoy!

Jason- Just stumbled upon your blog. I have to tell you I LOVE these wafers. Ill have to give them a try. They look awesome. They were my favorites! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Mmmm. I am sure I would love these - anything light and buttery makes me happy.
It's funny how food memories stay with you from childhood. It looks like mum came up trumps with these wafers, they sound absolutely scrummy
These are the same ones my in-laws make every year for Christmas! Probably the same 1970's Betty Crocker Cookbook too. We prefer frosting of the red and green variety.
Thats really cool how the food memories stayed with u until youre a grown up ~
