My Mom cut this recipe out of Good Housekeeping magazine in approx. 1959 or so. The magazine routinely featured " Susan" cooking or baking. This recipe is a winner. I still bake these cookies and always get rave reviews! And my recipe calls for 375 degrees. .

I too have the same recipe my grandmother passed along to me. But mine says bake at 300 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
