Like Momof3 said, I've made them before but can't find my recipe for the cookies.

I looked online, but I want one that someone has tried and tested.

No one here has made them?

Sara, BR didn't offer Home Economics when I (or my sisters) were in school.

Thanks for the offer to type it, but someone in work gave me a recipe today.
