Personal Notes:
One of my very favorite cookies with a hot cup of coffee. When ever it was a snow day and the kids were off of school. We would make these. Kelsey wanted brownies. So we would make those too. Nothing like a cozy day watching it snow with a warm cup of coffee and my favorite cookie. I like strawberry Jam on mine but you can use whatever you like.
