The one I would give you. This is the best cookie recipe in the world and the only one I ever remember making at my house growing up (aside from sugar cookies that is). My moma had a house full of kids and we could NEVER wait til they were hard to eat them. If you haven't tried these than you definitely should!
The boiled cookies is one I have made since I was a kid. It is a good cookie just not one I am int he mood for right now.
Instead of spending money on junkie valentine's cards for school mates my DD and I made cookies and put them in a baggie for each child. It won't be a wasted effort that gets put into a landfill in a week.
My DD who works at the hospital has a cookie swap tomorrow for Valentine's so I did a batch of cookies for her.
This year I don't feel pressed to buy a card and be forced into a sappy holiday expence engineered to make the florist and hallmark money.
Instead I made my honey* a homemade card and a batch of peanutbutter cookies.
Photos tomorrow.
*I also gave him orders not to waste money on junky cards for me and certainly no candy.
