I have had this recipe for years. It was included in a magazine that I subscribed to years ago ... and was a contest winning recipe that was submitted by a woman from someplace in 'the Heartland'. Well, I became a fan. This recipe makes close to 5 dozen cookies, which was a real seller when I first made them. You see, that was a time in my life when I was constantly baking for bake sales, girl's field hockey or softball parties, Cub Scout and Girl Scout meetings, or PTSA refreshments. A big batch of cookies that was delectable and 'went' was a good thing. The beauty of a big batch also allowed me to bake for social gatherings and the family cookie jar.
