My children had moved their from Florida and was very much not ready for the change in tempatures. We all got very sick. One of the ladies in my neighborhood was 86 years old, she told me that if I would bake these cookies and make sure my kids ate them when they first started showing signs of a cold it would kick it out quicker. Tried it, worked and they became my youngest sons favorite cookies. He loves black liquorish too!
