I gave this 5 stars. My family loves these cookies. I got this recipe from my Home Ec. Class when in school. The recipe tells how to make Brown Sugar Crispies - Substitute 1/2 cup packed brown sugar for the white sugar. Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe! Christine (internetnut)

I am a bird fanantic and whenever I bake anything my family asks, "Is this for the birds or us?" I try to keep it fair, but the birds get most of my efforts!
