Mmmmmm cookies.
I don’t bake a lot so when I do, I try to make it good. A couple of weeks ago I was perusing Pinterest and came across a wonderful recipe for cookies that I had to try. The recipe seemed fairly simple and not very time consuming. And because it was the holidays, I felt like I had to bake them. The original recipe called for whole wheat pastry flour but I opted for regular all-purpose flour. These were so tasty! I even made a second batch of them earlier this week.
