Thank you SO Much. As a kid I used to spend my allowance on these at a bakery by our house. I then came upon this recipe (from a newspaper clipping) in the 1970's, as a new bride, and over the years and several moves, lost it. I have been looking for this exact recipe for the past FORTY or so years, all to no avail until today. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
