I made these cookies for the 1st time in March- see post here and I wanted to make them at Christmas...but I didn't have any milk on the day I was making all the dough. So I googled the recipe looking for ingredients I DID have.
Again- another awesome photo ... hahah I think this is another that I wouldn't make again- I prefer the ones I made in March over this recipe.
