The best cookie recipe of all time....

I must be high.... but I am going to share with you my grandmothers famous, never duplicated cookie recipe.... Act quickly, because if I come to my senses, I may delete this post!  Actually, I wouldn't!  My precious NaNa would love to know that others are gathered around the kitchen eating her cookies.

I can still see her winking at me as I ate the raw dough!  Sometimes she would act like eating the dough was a crime, but as she was scolding me, she too would be eating a bite of dough!  We would giggle and laugh. 

My brother Charles as actually mastered the art of NaNa cookies and he recently shared is secret with me..... its all in step one.... thats the secret to moist yummy cookies... oh and not over cooking these little jewels.

These cookies not only inspire bigger thighs and larger waists, but also giggles and good times... I hope you enjoy...
