Short Stack Cookies
I love an author by the name of Joanne Fluke. She writes these great books that are known as culinary mysteries. They are mysteries with some kind of cooking, baking, etc. in the storyline.

These are one of my favorite cookies from my childhood. They are my Grandma Cuckoo's recipe, but my mom always made them for us growing up.

Then they popped into my head so I called my mom for the recipe and made them. Oh, I was taken back in time when I bit into the first one.Heavenly is all I … [Read more...]
