Personal Notes:
Anyone who knows me knows how much I dislike baking. In planning for Christmas 2007, I was feeling guilty about not baking more with Sidney, and I had saved this recipe torn out of a magazine. I decided the time had come to try this recipe and give Sidney a chance to bake. Well, the result was a keeper recipe. I wish I could give credit to the source because these are fabulous cookies. In our house we have Tim as our food rater and he gave these a 10!
