I shared this recipe over at Jerri’s blog, Simply Sweet Home on November 26.  They are a great chewy spice cookie that I am sure you will enjoy.

The recipe I am sharing with you today was given to me by a friend when we lived in the Seattle area.  Susan and her husband were in a dinner group with us and we also shared a love of music, but what made her so special to me was her love for my young boys.  She brought them these cookies whenever she visited and once even came over to my house with all of the ingredients and spent an afternoon baking with them.   Those are priceless memories which make these cookies all the more tasty.
