These are without a doubt our Kids All-time Favorite Cookies and probably the one thing we’ve baked the most over the years. Alexandra got the recipe from her sister many years ago and although the recipe is quit old it is still a favorite.
Our Kids Favorite Cookies are very simple, they are crunchy and sweet and no matter how many we’ve made, they are always the first to be “sold out” on the cake table.
