Introduction

This recipe comes from a handwritten card in my Mom's old recipe file. It was very similar to one I found online and added the 'Penuche' like icing from there. With the icing, these will definitely settle a sweet tooth! (not light, but not bad for a large (and delicious!) cookie) This recipe comes from a handwritten card in my Mom's old recipe file.
