Awesome with a cup of coffee!
 **If you want to serve the cookies warm...turn the oven on to heat. Preheat at 350 for a few minutes. Then turn the oven off and set a few cookies on a baking sheet warming slightly...Serve with coffee or milk!

 Helpful Hint:
If you want to freeze cookie dough for later;
make a cookie log and wrap in foil & freeze.

Mark the outside with the date and the name of cookies.
Then freeze until needed.  This saves a lot of time. 

These are great to have on hand for unexpected guests.
Simply, partially thaw, slice and bake!
Wa-Lah.....Cookies Ready! 

Enjoy...
