These cookies were very delicious! They are hard to have just one cookie because they are so good! This is the first time I've ever made sugar cookies by myself and they were easy for me! I recommend this recipe to you! I encourage you to try this recipe out! I'd also love it if you shared your stories of hope and survival here on this post!
