Oh so delicious! Thanks for sharing! Thinking about selling these at our Farmers Market this summer. I’m always looking for simple yet tasty recipes. These are a keeper!

Reading the recipe and then all the comments — especially Glynda’s above, has made me want to whip up a batch! Ok, I’ll try them! (Has anyone ever added chocolate to them?) I know I’m only asking what others have thought of too! LOL!

OH MY ME!! THESE ARE SOME OF THE BEST, MOST INTERESTING COOKIES I HAVE EVER MADE AND EATEN? EVERYBODY RAVES OVER THEM! (I AM SHOUTING!!!). I made a batch for my granddaughter’s 14th b’day party, 14 screaming girls, they were gone in no time and we are talking a LOT of cookiees, big ones!! And the funniest thing was parents walking out eating one and carrying two or three more with them. They were stopping to talk to me about the cookies and wanting to know “What’s in here? They’re crisp but soft but crunchy…..smack smack smack…what’s in them???” I had the best time. I’ve made more since and sent them to all my granddaugters teachers, which was a total of 9, and two bus drivers on little Christmas plates. They loved them. The ONLY issue I personally have with these cookies is that I cannot stop eating them. They must be given away fast!!! Making them again today with white choclate chips and chunky chopped walnuts. Bet they would be great with the white chips and chunky chopped macadamia nuts. mmmmm Thanks so much for sharing this fab recipe. My new fav.

Oh and my mail lady is going to get a stack of them in the mail box this week too (with a starbucks card).

Whew! This recipe showed up at just the right time. The young lady my son is seeing now invited me to her Extension Homemaker Club Christmas meeting, which was held yesterday. On Wednesday I found out that there would be a cookie and candy exchange – and that there are 34 members! I made 2 batches of these cookies and put 5 nice size cookies in each gift bag. I think I tied the last twisty around 11:30pm. They are delicious and were very well received. I ended up with 36 bags and there were 4 left on my tray after the exchange. One of the ladies at the meeting said she loved your website and visited it often.
I’m going to make them again this weekend as gifts for the girls at the rubber stamp party I go to each month. This recipe is really getting a workout at my house.
Have a blessed Christmas with your lovely family!

Yes! You can definitely add dried cranberries or cherries!

I’m excited to try these cookies! Do you think that dried cranberries or dried cherries would be ok to add?

On a side note, I have a recipe for sourgum cookies that makes 175 cookies… I have to mix the dough in my Momma’s canning pot because its so much stuff! They are the absolute best sourgum cookies:)

Either one will work great. If you scoop out cookies, place them on layers of waxed paper in zipper seal bags. I usually freeze all the dough in a glob on one bag and thaw in the fridge before baking.

Christy~ How would you freeze these before baking? Would you scoop out the cookies and freeze or freeze the whole recipe together? And would you thaw them out before baking? Thanks so much.
