Dear Madam,
I have a sister that lives in Manitoba, Canada. In November they had a tea get together. Each one brought cookies. One lady brought a cookie called, “The Digestive Cookie.” She would not share the recipe. All of them wanted the recipe. I sent my sister the Farm and Dairy cook book. She certainly uses it a lot. I thought you could put it in your recipe section. Certainly someone has the recipe. Thanking you so much for your cooperation, I remain,
Sincerely,
(Ms.) Rose Rowlands
… Getting the F&D over 31 years. How we do enjoy it so much. I thank you again.
