Thank you for sharing this Chipits recipe! I started making these cookies when I was a kid (I'm pretty sure the first time was in 1980, I remember making these in the kitchen of the house we had just moved into). Anyways, the cookies were such a hit, we taped the recipe onto a recipe card so we wouldn't lose it. Unfortunately, when my mum downsized from the house into a condo a few years ago after my dad passed, that recipe card went missing and I was so sad. (Truly, it's the only thing I miss from the house!) Anyways, my bestie's birthday is in 2 weeks and she made a special request for these cookies. I've been dreading having to tell her I couldnt find the recipe, but you have saved the day!!! Yay! Thank you so much! I think I will do a trial run batch to make sure I haven't lost my touch LOL. P.S. my tip is that if you wait until the next day to eat them, I find the texture becomes almost cake-like.

I like appl;esauce cookies and the addition of butterscotch chips added to the flavor. My husband who doesn't care for this type pf cookie said they were delicious. Thanks Boyz 5 for a new cookie recipe. Bullwinkle
