Personal Notes:
These are a soft chewy cookie. I got this recipe from my neighbor when we lived in Whitehorn in the 80s. She had two little boys and was always making cookies or some homemade treat for them. I used to take these to work and everyone would rave over them. As a result I have had to share this recipe with many of my co-workers.
