My kids love cookies and it’s so fun to make them together – it’s all about building fabulous memories in the kitchen with my family! And these cookies….they are just fresh and flavorful, a lovely little cookie that is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the form of a cookie. To be enjoyed with a big glass of non-dairy milk – milk mustache optional.
