"Blog Cos You Want To Club" - cookie recipe 2009

 Sian suggested to "The Blog Cos You Want To Club" that when we are looking for a post idea we look back in our archives and pull an oldie out. This cookie recipe post has been one of my all time most viewed post so here it is again. I made a fresh batch yesterday. The Chosen One had no problem doing away with more than a few, I gifted 6 to a neighbor, 4 to The Beast (his daddy ate some of his @@) and froze a dozen for The Pirate's arrival.
