Many of you will remember sweet Mary Stigers, our saintly sister from PRPC who went to be with the Lord several years ago. Like most women of her generation, she liked to cook, and she contributed several recipes to our last cookbook.
Tonight I was looking for a quick and easy cookie recipe to whip up for some teenage boys. Afterall, they can't drink hot chocolate without cookies, right? I skimmed the church cookbook and settled on her recipe. Within 12-15 minutes, the first batch was out of the oven! I was worried that the recipe might have been misprinted because there were no eggs in the dough (we have discovered many errors in this book over the years...missing ingredients, instructions, etc.). But I gave it a shot anyway. They were perfectly crisp and delicious! Try them.
