These cookies are so yummy. It's hard to take just 2 and be reasonnable. I used only 1/2 cup of sugar. Thanks s. anne :) Made for PAC Fall 2012 -
Oh, these are so sweet and adorable and what a great treat for this time of year. Perfect. The ingredients measured out to make a perfect cookie. The only thing I omitted was the cloves. Thanks for posting this keeper Anne. Made for Fall's PAC 08~
