I actually got this recipe from a very dear friend and she gave me permission to enter it into this contest. It's been in her family over 100 yrs. It originally came from Emma, her Danish Grandmother, who used butter in this recipe. We thought we'd try using grapeseed oil to make the recipe much healthier and the cookies turned out to be: 'melt in your mouth marvelous.
