    Last week, I wanted to play around with making a new cookie recipe for my hubby’s coworkers. After tasting one cookie, I knew these were bound to be a hit with all. I sent three dozen cookies to work with him the next morning and within a few hours, they were gone. Crumbs and all!!! I’d call that a success, right?!? I even had several requests for the recipe, so here you go!

        Yes! These freeze perfectly! Either unbaked, and frost them later once baked, or freeze them fully baked and pull them out when you want one (or a few)! Enjoy!
