So here's the first one.
These are one of my family's favorite cookies of all times. I would love to give credit to where this came from, but I clipped it from a magazine probably 10 or 12 years ago, and I have since lost the original clipping (see above comment about Pinterest...). So, I take absolutely no credit for this recipe, I'm just sharing a family favorite. :)
