I was thrilled to find this recipe. I enjoyed the story shared by Leilani because coincidently I came across this recipe in the mid 70s from a lovely lady who lived down the street from me when we lived in EauClaire Wis. I can't remember her name but she had a young son and had been diagnosed with breast cancer about the time we moved. I had lost the recipe over the years, Googled it by the name..'Everyday Cookies'..and Voila! Thank you Leilani.

All I can say is bless Mrs. Carlson's heart. She sounds like a wonderful lady in addition to being a great baker. These cookies are phenominal~just what you'd expect from an 'older' recipe. These texture is chewy/crunchy and full of flavor. Please try these cookies, you won't be disappointed. Thank you leilani for such a nice tribute to your "wonderful lady who lived down the street."

I made these cookies thinking that my husband loves all things chocolate and so I added a cup of cocoa.....bad idea! I think they would've turned out much better had I either left it out or put much less in there because they were terribly crumbly and broke apart easily after I cooked them. Next time I will do without the chocolate! Thanks for sharing, I can tell they would be great if I would've left them alone!
