I needed something different for dessert tonight (company for dinner) and I didn't want to go into baking a whole cake or pie ... these look like just the ticket and they sound delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe! Blessings! Suze

So glad to hear your feeling better. The cookie recipe sounds good. Glad to see you got some snow. Alot of ours is melting, Ron was able to chop the ice off the walk way, but our driveway is a mess. So far we have been able to get in and out, he only got stuck once. Any way its cold here, heater is running to keep us warm.
