Oh My! These were wonderful. My husband and kids loved them. I rolled them out to ball shape when placing on the baking sheet. They didn't "flatten" out, like most cookies but, were absolutely delicious. Thanks!

When I got married in 2001, I was completely unfamiliar in the kitchen. I grew up eating food from restaurants and a home cooked meal about once or twice a month. I stumbled around blindly the first few years, and my hubby had to try many awful creations...such as burnt chicken that was raw inside and carmels made from corn oil (instead of corn syrup). I have come a long way, however, and people love coming over to try my many new recipes, most getting rave reviews. Thanks to everyone for their recipes, I love to experiment!
