So, Brian has been so amazing helping me with a TON of
summer projects such as our garage sale, building me a farmhouse plank table, and
digging up some of our overgrown weeds, all while working long hours and being
a co-chair for our church’s annual block party.
I decided to make his absolute favorite cookies. I created
this recipe especially for Brian. I’m still thinking of a name for them. Right
now I’ve been calling them Smart Cookies. Everyone in my family loves them too, and I don’t know what it is about the
flavor combination, but they are these cookies are very addictive. I swear
there is no nicotine in them, but honestly you cannot just stop at one, or two,
or seven.
