It is a universally well known fact that grandmothers make the very best cookies. I’m not exactly sure why that is, but I suspect it has something to do with the amount of love that gets mixed into each batch they make. This recipe comes from our team member Maggie’s grandma and are that perfect blend of crispy chewy goodness. Dip them in a hot cup of tea for that perfect afternoon pick me up. Leave us a note in the comments, we’d love to hear which cookie you most remember your grandmother making for you – with extra love stirred in of course!
