Sounds yummy.. I'll have to give them a try.
I don't know if this is the exact recipe I used to make, but it sounds the same. I love these cookies. Unfortunately, I'm the only one who does...
PS: Pat and Madeline, if you aren't going to eat them within a couple of days, stick them in the freezer. I found that they don't keep well.
They are tasty. The ones you gave us are all gone! :)
