Are you drooling yet???
I will give you a minute to really get a good look at these delightfully calorific temptations.
I know, I know.
My food photography leaves a lot to be desired.
I was tired….
we helped some friends move over the weekend and by the time we got home and I remembered promising my hubby I would bake him his favorite cookie I was beyond cognitive thinking.
Much less artful photography of my cookies..
in bad light.
So I promptly gave up and dug in.
I nearly made the fresh hot cookies my dinner but I stopped at one…
at least until after dinner.
I am including the recipe just so you can enjoy their deliciousness as well..
I am good that way.

Now I won’t gain ten pounds alone.
They tasted even better today. I must’ve been the rain, and more rain today…
I have one thing to say…”where is summer?”
