I am NOT a baker at all....wish I was better....BUT, this recipe was super quick, simple and tasty!! I normally buy the packaged sugar cookie mix (I know, I know) and I forgot and found myself googling for an easy quick recipe. I had 2 hours to turn out some cookies for a concession stand duty! I am super proud of my creating and this recipe was very delicious! Thanks!
