When I saw this recipe in a book a friend had gifted me years ago. Really, my friend gave me a cookie recipe book years ago and I hadn’t baked not even one recipe from it until this cookie series. Can you relate to that? Do you own recipe books and haven’t even made one recipe from it? I have!

This next cookie is super easy to make and I happened to have all the ingredients in the panty too!
