I didn't make any of these cookies today, but I did find the recipe while I was trying to locate copies of our Sky and Virgin Media bills (our modem is on the blink) thought I'd write it down here so that I can chuck out the very mucky piece of scrap I'd written the recipe on. They're very delicious cookies!
