Let's face it, cookies have a place on our planet. They can be gooey, chewy, crunchy or melt in your mouth heaven. I love trying out new cookie ideas and am always thrilled when one is so tasty that I can add it to my cookie rotation. This recipe was good... but they were fragile and sticky.... not exactly something that would work for the cookies I bake for the Volunteer house. Still, it is a good cookie and will likely make them again for a ladies tea or special event. Cookie Carnival Challenges are great fun and there is always room for others to join in on the fun!
