Today was a miserable, cold, icy day....and of course my day off this week! I was stuck inside with a clean apartment, so what better to do than bake? :) I hadn't had these cookies in SO long and when I saw them on a blog that I frequent, I knew that I had to make them!
I had made these cookies for Christmas, but we were in such a hurry that day, that I totally spaced taking a picture. So today when I made them again, I remembered to take one. I love this recipe, these cookies are so incredibly easy and quick!
