In the absence of a good recipe, sometimes you just have to make up your own – and stick to the basics! I came up with this recipe in junior high, I think. I pulled from various other recipes until I found just the right mixture of ingredients to suit my taste. These are my absolute favorite go-to cookies for any occasion!
