These were super easy to make and oh so good! I was looking for a quick recipe for a cookie exchange and this fit the bill! When I tasted them though I absolutley loved them, and so do my kids, they even enjoyed helping make them. This is a great family recipe to have the kids help with. I am going to make a few more batches now and add this to our family book of goodies! five stars
