Note: My boys love these cookies and I don’t feel guilty letting them eat them. We love to add different things to them. At Christmas we add dried cranberries. and white chocolate chips. If Conner had his way we would add CANDY, he has such a sweet tooth, he’s just like his mommy 🙂 So play around with the recipe anbd add your favorite touches.
