I love these cookies. They’re easy to make and perfect every time. They’re crunchy, but not too crunchy.
Where did the recipe come from? Not sure anymore. I’m sure I started with an Internet recipe but it’s changed and morphed and handwritten these days. So… credit to the originator, but I don’t know who she/he is. Bummer, right?
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
