I originally thought to try this one for a local American Cancer Society bake sale...I followed the recipe as written, but I didn't really like the result...I didn't flatten the portions of cookie dough before baking (the recipe didn't say to), but perhaps I should have...I ended up with cookie blobs that were quite soft and very cakey in texture, although they tasted fine...I tried dusting them with confectioner's sugar to make them look more appealing for the bake sale, but they didn't sell...As a result I ended up donating them to the residents at the nursing home I work at, for their coffee hour, as they certainly were soft enough for them to chew...I'm so very sorry, but this recipe won't be making it into my 'keeper' file :-( -
great recipe love it can't wait to make them. thanks for sharing

I am married and have three children ages 9 to 16. I work full-time so between work and attending as many school functions as I can possibly fit in, I have little time to prepare "gourmet" type dishes which require a lot of preparation time. I like tasty, quick-fix meals that use ingredients that are usually in my house and don't require an extra trip to the store. When I'm not waiting on my family or working, I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently started a new hobby----quilting.
