I have had these starred in my reader forever! I was glad to finally have a reason to make these. I must admit I didn’t get to try one of these by the time they were done baking I had a belly ache from too much cookie dough. 
So I just boxed them up and sent them. But Adam said everyone who took one enjoyed it and there was only one or two left.
I guess I will have to make them again so I can try them!
