The recipe came from an old high-school couple/friends of ours that Rob works with. He was so anxious for this recipe, he actually called the wife of the co-worker/h.s. friend to ask for it personally rather than wait for me to call her. I made the cookies and they were *poof* gone in an afternoon! Since I am making another batch today, I thought I would share the recipe with you. If you make them, please let me know what you think. (Can be doubled)

OOh, going to go get the stuff today to make these. Although I told my son and he said "gross." I figure if they don't turn out I'll just send them with my hubby to work!:) hee hee. Just got a kitchenaid mixer so I'm baking up a storm...doesn't matter if it needs mixing I'll make it!:) Theres math involved, reading, science...great homeschooling exercise! Yes great justification!
ReplyDeleteOH I made these too (without the chocolate chips) because I had everything already on hand (except the chocolate chips) and they WERE fabulous! So fluffy, not too sweet, just right with coffee :) Tell your husband he made plenty of internet surfers very happy with his insistance :)
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot you asked what we thought, and I figured you meant more than "they were yummy!" I loved that they were so light and puffy, I didn't use the chocolate but on half of them I did sprinkle some chopped walnuts and my husband suggested that they might do well with raisins or craisins. Seriously, yummy cookies :)
