These cookies are special! My oldest son Connor (yes the same boy who requested the peanut butter fudge cake from last Monday’s post–he really likes the combination) LOVES them and he makes them himself. He is famous for these cookies. Everyone loves them. They are WONDERFUL!! Give them a try! I got the recipe from Melanie G. at the kitchen Cafe. She has a TON of amazing recipes! You should check her blog out!

Those cookies look perfect! I’m so impressed that your son cooks them–he’ll make his wife very happy someday with that skill?!? I love how perfectly shaped they are. I’ll definitely have to try this recipe. I love all of melanie’s recipes that I’ve tried, too.
These do look good! Your son did a great job!
Way to go, Connor! I’m completely impressed and I would love it if he wanted to come live with me and make cookies all the time. My boys could learn a thing or two!
That’s awesome that your son cooks. The cookies look fabulous.
