Made for KK's forum Mini Cookathon. Thank you so much for posting the correction to this recipe, once made with that these are wonderful cookies, easy to make, and I think you could even freeze the dough for future cookie making which is what I am doing with another batch I am doing now. I think a bit of glaze or frosting on this would add to them wonderfully, and a garnish of half a walnut would be neat too. These would also make great Lunch Box cookies for the kids. Thank You so much for a wonderful cookie.
