These cookies are surprisingly addicting for a dessert that has no chocolate in it! Our preschool teacher Miss Denise served these at our Christmas program. I instantly loved the flavor and chewy texture and was pleased with how well they kept their softness in the cookie jar. My kids love to help by rolling them in the sugar. Gather your family and have a baking activity!

Yum! I am going to try these,
I make these with whole wheat flour and brown sugar... for awhile I was off the white stuff and that's why I tried the substitutions. Anyway, they were really good and had a little more fiber than normal.
I like to try different flours too. I love my mill...it helps me sneak in oat/barley/bean flour...you get the idea!
