This was my Great-Grandmother’s Recipe, and it’s enjoyed every year in our home for Christmas dinner dessert.

I had the pleasure of getting this e-mail yesterday:
“Hey Cat! I’m wondering what’s the best type of vanilla to use for baking. I took a look

I know it’s old news that big, blue, huggable Cookie Monster recently declared that “Cookies are a Sometimes Food” but I still say this just isn’t right! Cookies should be enjoyed wherever, and whenever!
