I’ve had this recipe for over 10 years but I haven’t made them in quite awhile until recently when a friend reminded me about them. I can’t believe I forgot about them. They are the softest, moistest cookies and so yummy. I will add that I don’t add the last two ingredients in the list, I never have for some reason. They are just nice without them.
