Old fashioned cookies with plenty of crunch

These crunchy cookies are a favorite with garden writer Peter Tonge, who says it's probably of English origin because it's a recipe of his mother's. Peter's wife, Barbara, says she and the children like the cookies all year round and they're good to have on hand for snacks. She likes to serve them to people who come to visit.
