Funny how I changed my dinner plans...all because it just seemed too hot to have my oven on for too long today. But the idea of making cookies for Garrett and his buddy when they get home from school...not a second thought about that same oven heating up my kitchen! :) Apparently my love for chocolate wins out over my air conditioning bill OR my dinner preparations!!!
That being said, you wouldn't be able to resist either. They're good. Real good.
One of the greatest things about staying in Utah for a few extra years to get a Masters Degree out of the way for Steve, was the fact that we got to live minutes away from my little sister. (My baby sister came to UT after we had left...so we missed out on the fun with her...sorry Dawnia!!!) But it was so fun to have Dana close by...and NOT just because she passed this cookie recipe on to me, but because we had great times...lots of them! One day we were dropping baby Garrett off at Dana's apartment, (see I told you it wasn't just for the cookies that I love her...it's the babysitting too!), and she came out with a plate of the best cookies I had ever eaten. I demanded the recipe and have never looked back. I even still use the same scrap of paper recipe that she wrote out for me that day...mostly because I love that it's in her handwriting and it makes me think of her the whole time I'm making them! With my luck, the cookies probably wouldn't turn out as well if I transferred the recipe into my recipe book anyway!!! :)
But, if YOU want to take your chances and try it from the 'typed' recipe...here you go!

Thanks for the shout-out! But, yes, that recipe did come from the other Danielle. :) I don't think I've even made those in YEARS. I forgot about that recipe! But I think I know now what to make for my sweet tooth this week. I miss those days living down the road from you and babysitting cute baby Garett.
Sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing. Will have to make them soon.
