Bio: Over the summer I did a 6 week program with our ward where we earned points by "Being our best self" I accumulated points and used them to win a batch of these cookies and a few other wonderful things at the Service Auction at the end of the 6 weeks. Darnell gave me the recipe so I wanted to share it with all of you. They are delicious! oh, and it makes a ton so you might want to half the recipe.
