Dear Friend,

My great aunt Minnie Beasley lived with my family while I was growing up in Memphis, TN. She blessed us with a wealth of wisdom and love as well as giving us this wonderful recipe for these terrific almond cookies.

Around the holidays, my mother would spend an afternoon making our family batches of these cookies - she could never make enough!  There wasn't a holiday we did not have my aunt Minnie's cookies around, in fact I cannot imagine a holiday without them.

These delicate wonders are a holiday tradition spanning four generations. They're my personal favorite and the best cookie I've ever eaten. I would like to share these treats with you and your friends and family, so please do not hesitate to call.

Each one is hand made with care from the finest ingredients just as aunt Minnie Beasley made them. Thank you for visiting us and don't forget to send a bag for any occasion to someone you love!

	Sincerely,
	Harmon Beasley Canon
