Author Notes
These cookies have been a family favorite for years...my mom baked them, I bake them and my daughters bake them. The little ones love them! These are rich and buttery with a great chew.
If you're gluten free use white rice flour instead of all purpose. —inpatskitchen

I think I get my love for food and cooking from my mom, who was an amazing cook. She would start baking and freezing a month before Christmas in order to host our huge open house on Christmas afternoon. I watched and I learned...to this day I try not to procrastinate when it comes to entertaining.
My cooking style is pretty much all over the place, although I'm definitely partial to Greek and Italian cuisine. Oh yes, throw a little Cajun in there too!
