Notes: There’s nothing fancy about these cookies, but sometimes basic is best. Baking these took me back to coming home from school to that freshly baked cookie smell – the hint of vanilla that gets the mouth-watering. Not only is it the perfect after school snack or after dinner dessert, I’ve heard that Santa likes them too. -Sandy
