Recipe Notes

There is no inidcation how to store these cookies, but in an airtight container and possibly in the fridge would be a good idea to help them keep longer.

This card is full of spills and spots and I remember these cookies at Vanita's house at Christmas time each year. The ingredients seem a little less guilt inducing as far as treats go.

Scott thinks he remembers this as being Daren's favorite cookie.
