"In the midst of winter, I learned there lives in me an invincible summer" Camus (maybe a paraphrase)

I made them last year also Jenn...I got the same response! I am thinking I might make some to take to Tulsa with me...at least that would give ua something home made to snack on!

Just an FYI...I made this recipe today. Its much easier if you cream the butter and 2 sugars together then put the egg in (lightly beaten) and then add the dry ingredients. I scooped the dough onto the try using a table spoon. The cookies came out in a fine size and I got just over 2 dozen cookies out of it. Gonna be hard not to eat these before I want them!!!
