...and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of.
And so are these great cookies I whipped up! My friend and her little girl came over, and I swear neither of them could keep their hands off, or their mouths empty. They're that good!
These sugar cookies are beyond simple to make. I believe they are going to become my go to cookie whenever I need something and I don't have the spare time to make up a batch of my beloved Basler Brunsli, after all, these take a fraction of the time!
These have a wonderful mouth feel. They are like little sweet clouds that just melt in your mouth. They give easily, but they don't crumble. And right in the centre, there is this wonderful chewy surprise. What a joy to eat, and I can't wait until next cookie season when I can offer these up to everyone and watch people smile as they eat them.
