NOTES:
I was looking for a treat to give my family one day and had very little ingredients on hand and no money to go grocery shopping. I came across this one and found it very easy to make. I’ve adapted it from the original recipe to give it a bit more moisture, flavor, and sweetness. The original cookies came out dry and blah. Otherwise, this recipe is fool proof!
