I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, Megan! Let me know how they turn out if you whip ‘em up. And yes, this is the time of year when I start buying butter by the armful at Costco. Really!

Hmmm… cookies it must be in the air…. I have just recently started my holiday baking and may have to add these sweet morsels to that repertoire…. I am going to need a lot more butter!
