Originally posted to the blog back in 2010, and then re-written and re-shot back in 2014, we’ve updated the post, recipe card, and photos again, as they had not aged well! What has aged well, on the other hand, is this recipe! Our family continues to love these cookies, and the simple fact that we’ve taken the time and effort to update the post three times is proof of that!
