My cute neighbor made these delicious cookies for me. I took one bite and knew that I was not going to be sharing them with my family. I hid these delectable morsels and ate every single on. Once they were gone I knew that I had to have more. Thank goodness that she was willing to give me her recipe. They are as good as any sugar cookie but so, so much easier to make. You can thank me for this recipe later. :)
