I got some pecan sandies this week. The other day on a 2nd cup of coffee, I thought it would taste good to have a couple of small cookies to go with it. It does hit the spot for me.

Today, not mentioning Christmas cookies, what would you say is your favorite cookie? I have a book I haven't looked through in awhile, & I just might go and see about that.

That may be a next kitchen project.

@qualitygal I honestly don't think I have a favorite cookie, I like MOST cookies, it really depends on my mood.

My Mother made the best peanut butter cookies.  Cute story - she came to visit and asked if I would like some pb cookies.  The three children who were maybe 7, 11 and 12 at the time all chimed in and said "our Mother never makes cookies."  What!!! I made cookies all the time, just not pb because I couldn't duplicate Mother's.
