Lost cookie recipe -- SOS!

[NellieMcGann]

Hi. Can anyone help me find a lost recipe card from Great American recipes -- at least 10 years old -- for Grandma's tea cookies?? An eggless cookie made with butter and powdered sugar. These are similar to russian tea cakes. I've made these for years with my Mom, and I've recently lost the card! I've tried at least 4 recipes but they are not the same, something is missing. I tried GAR customer service but the card is out of print... Much appreciation to anyone who can share this recipe card!!!!

I just checked my Great American Home Baking binders, but that one isn't listed. I hope someone else has it and can help you!

Is this it? It says it's sourced from a Great American Recipes card, and it's made with butter and powdered sugar and no eggs.
