. . .and one more (delicious) thing!

For those of you at the reception or our superbowl partay im sure you had these fantabulous cookies....if you were there and didn't.... SHAME on you....although Im pretty sure you wouldn't have passed them up on purpose....

For those that weren't there- trust me.....these are too legit to quit. Thick, soft/giant delicious cookies...... Anyhoo- my fabulous new friend/neighbor/running partner here in Cali was gracious to share the recipe that she made for me. I wish I had a pic of these remarkable cookies bc they are not only delectable, but she made them adorable too....

Anyhoo- I just wanted to share b/c I know many of you have been asking for it and I wanted to share the wealth.

Enjoy and good treats!

Divde dough in half and form into two balls. Flatten into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour

On a floured (or p sugared) surface roll out dough to desired thickness (they will not puff up a ton so if you want them thick- as she made them- roll them out as thick as you want them to be). She used a big flower cookie cutter so they were delightfully giant.

Bake for 10-12 minutes- she usually takes them out early- like 8/9 minutes. Let them set on pan for a min or two if you do.

Cool and frost (delightful receipe to follow) then eat the crud out of them and repeat as necessay until your Heifertitis is fulfilled.
