These recieved mixed reviews in our house - my 8 year old and i LOVED them, but my husband and 10 year old didn't like them very much, but that's ok - that means more for us! I have people coming over today, so I'll serve the cookies up to them for another opinion. They appear to be the sort of cookie which would last well in an airtight container. I will be making these as part of my Christmas cookie list! Thanks for sharing [Made for Aus/NZ Swap]

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
