It's always great to find an heirloom recipe. My mother and yours must
have had a connection, Mom's spelling was, at best, a wild guess and she
didn't know what punctuation was.
What's the language, looks Finnish?

salted peanut cookies, a treat from my childhood. I have the recipe
as written down by my mom (and I've tweaked it a bit), but to my joy I
found inside mom's old recipe box the original recipe clipped from the
Pioneer Press newspaper column. I discovered the original recipe
included cornflakes, which mom never bothered with.
