Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by Suzy Beebe. Suzy says that she makes the cookies with 1/2 stick of butter and uses skim milk and the cookies taste great. Suzy also cautions that cooking time is VERY important in how these cookies turn out. She goes on to say, "When I was a kid at home with all of us, we tripled the recipe and boiled the mixture for 3-4 minutes. But a single recipe only needs about 60-90 seconds. The mixture will be at a rolling boil and will look VERY glossy when it's ready. You are basically cooking it long enough to dissolve the sugar, but if you cook it too long, they (the cookies) will be dry. If you make them right, they should be glossy looking and quite firm. If they are sticky, then the sugar didn't cook long enough. If they are dry and crumbly, you cooked too long."

Also: Hot, boiled sugar mixture will burn the BEJESUS out of you--BE CAREFUL!!
