I haven’t made cookies in 25 years because I got really sick. I’m disabled and have a hard time sitting up straight but I want to try to make these cookies. In my hayday I would cook between 125 to 175 dozen cookies for my father in law catering company and I work about 65 hours a week at my regular job. Thank God I was young. My wife and I have moved about 8 times and I’m not sure where my personal recipes are right now because we moved so much and I spent so much time in hospitals, hospices and nursing homes over the last 8 years. I thought 🤔 that I would give this recipe a try!! Thank You and May God Bless You and Your Family and Friends. I need to wait till I get my check to buy the ingredients. Thank You for sharing. My wife is going to help me.
Love Always 💖🌹💖
