First cookies of the Holiday season and they were a hit. I had just finished baking and cooling these cookies when the we got a call from our mechanic that our vehicle was ready to be picked up. I boxed up the cookies and we headed in to pick up our vehicle. Before I could even pay, the guys had just about gobbled up all the cookies. What better compliment can you get than that! Hope you enjoy!
