Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my friend Ruth. She would make them for every OPWE bake sale, and I would buy almost all of them for my son Louis. One day she decided it would save me a lot of money if she just gave me the recipe. These cookies just melt in your mouth and are very addicting. Ask Louis, I'm sure he will give them an A+ rating!
