My daughter first tried these cookies at my Aunt Liz's cottage when she was three and she has been hooked ever since. I have modified the base recipe to add optional ingredients such as dried cranberries and/or walnuts to give it some pizazz. I don't just add a little....I add a lot depending on what each of us likes. For some reason, the kids don't like any nuts in theirs.
