Another great cookie recipe - Mom's Cookies

[Guest guest]

My copy of this recipe is called " Mom's Cookies " , but my Mom's recipe

is called " Amy's Cookies. " Neither of us knows where the recipe came

from. Weird, huh? I haven't seen this recipe in any cookbook. I did

find a very similar recipe online in a blog, and think it was the son

of one of my old coworkers to whom I gave the recipe. Everyone loves

these! One of my husband's old co-workers called them the " Best F*ing

Cookies " he'd ever had. Didn't think that was an appropriate name

for them though. I hope you like them. You are all such food

experts, it would be interesting to get your opinions!
