Granny's meat grinder cookies (Cookie press recipe)

Somehow, yesterday my mind went back to my childhood and I remembered meat grinder cookies. My granny used to make them rather often. She liked to stick the ready cookies together using a homemade jam. But I had my own procedure for eating these sweets: first I had to lick off the jam and then enjoyed the cookies themselves :-) Yesterday my four-year-old son asked me to make some sweets together with him, so I found my granny's recipe for meat grinder cookies. We baked them and then ate them all in no time! I don't even know who ate more: my husband Robert (who descovered the cookies from my childhood for the first time and was grumbling why I had never made so delicious sweets before), my son Alessio (who was enjoying the cookies that he made by himself) or me, that went 25 years back from now...
