    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!
