If any of you wives have husbands like mine than you will LOVE this recipe. My hubby doesn’t have a big sweet tooth, (unlike me who will eat anything as long as there is chocolate in the name!) So, it has to taste really good for him to want to eat it. And so when I say these are one of his favorite cookies, then you know they are down right good. We made these over the weekend… one of my favorite things to do on weekends, by the way. And I made so many we are taking a plate over to our neighbors tonight- thought we might share in the splendor of these little morsels! So, have at it all you lovers of cookies out there… this one is for you!
