UTAH: Mucnch your way across the USA. The state of Utah is now represented. This recipe is from "Capitol Cookies" with recipes from every state and Washington, DC. This recipe was submitted by Little Cottonwood 20th Ward, Salt Lake City, Utah, Maureen Snow, Chairperson. I made these 11/22/10 and found them to be very moist and tasty. They are soft cookies but you can cook them a bit longer to get more of a little crunch. I will definitly make them again!
