These are tasty little cookies... made with a dough that is easy to handle. The topping possibilities are endless.... If you choose to dip them in chocolate... try dipping half a cookie, making a stripe on top and add sprinkles, make drizzles.. Or just roll them in powdered sugar..... This is dedicated to my friend JoAnne.....
