My grandma Rose🌹 was a force in my life. I was the youngest of 7 grandchildren and I can safely say that I was her favorite. Going to her house for Friday night 🙏🏻 Shabbat and watching her light the 🕯 candles and navigate the kitchen with ease was my favorite part of the week.  Her cooking was simple, hearty, delicious and she always had a homemade treat in the cookie jar. ⦁
In our family, we call these “Grandma Roses” and they are one of my top 5 favorite cookies to make. The dough has 6 simple ingredients (pantry staples) and can be made for every occassion. To grab the recipe, click on the link in the bio ⬆️ or DM me!
