Susan, these cookies look so tempting. They don’t really go well with my new way of eating – that being said, I have to splurge sometimes!

Approximately 5-6 dozen, depending on how large you make the cookies. These are always a hit with my family and when I take them to parties, Kay, so they’d be a great choice for an exchange. Have fun baking.
