Comments
i've made these cookies the last 5 years and they are everyone's favorite!
THESE ARE MY DAUGHTERS FAVOURITE. I BUY BAKING GUM DROPS SO I DON'T HAVE TO CUT THEM. THEY STAY SOFT AS LONG AS WE HAVE THEM - DON'T OVERCOOK OR THEY DO GET HARD. MY ONLY CHANGE IS TO ADD 1 TSP. OF VANILLA TO THE BATTER
i used to make these at Christmas time. put 2 dozen on paper plate and freeze. when you need cookies to take off, just thaw out for an hour or 2. they are ready for a party. also added walnuts to recipe before baking. mmmmmm
