As you can see by the website, I don’t cook many sweets. With age, I’ve lost my sweet tooth. However, my children and my friends have not. For most Friday Night Porch Parties, someone usually offers to bring a sweet. I ran across this recipe a while ago and decided to try them this past Friday. Anne Scott said this is now her new favorite cookie. I like it, too.
