I remember coming home from school one day to find a fresh plate of cookies waiting on the counter. Imagine my dismay when I was told they were “Dad’s cookies” and not mine. Of course, I was later told that it was only the name of the recipe and they weren’t actually only for my dad. This cookie recipe has been a favorite in my family and for friends. It is the perfect combination of sweet, crispy and chewy. The best part is the aroma that fills the room while they are baking in the oven.
