This is my NEW favourite cookie. :)I only wish I could give this more stars. This gem is buttery like a shortbread, and slightly chewy. Very easy to make, but you do need to use your hands to get the final ingredients worked in properly. I ended up with 48 cookies that won't last long at all. Gave a few to our neighbours, who also thought they were amazing. (Hi Jenn. :) ) Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
