This recipe comes from my
friend, Becki. You are indeed lucky if you are on her cookie list at
Christmas. She bakes many different varieties of cookies, but these are
my favorites.
When she sent me the recipe, she enclosed this note, "try not to eat
them all". I want you to know that won't be easy.
This recipe easily doubles. |
