Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
David had a cookie "somewhere" and wanted me to make some that tasted like that. Having not eaten one myself, I have been adjusting the recipe for over 2 years. Many dozen cookies later, I have it almost right. I'm not certain but this could be a son's evil plot to have an endless supply of cookies!
