I made these for friends who were flying in on short notice. So simple and the house smells great!!! -
This was a very pretty cookie! I subbed canola oil for the shortening, which didn't seem to matter. As promised, they did flatten and ended up looking like the Archway chocolate cookies. They get a bit crunchy after cooling, but don't fall apart. Yummy idea; thank you Goat mom!

Married 31 years. Live in rural area with one old mare and a small herd of Nubian dairy goats. I love cooking old favorites and trying new recipes. Mostly now just cooking for two but still host large groups several times a year. I've collected cookbooks for years when traveling. I have all my Mom and Mother in Laws cookbooks also. I try and write in my cookbooks any changes, when first tried and any other info that my daughter might enjoy later. Alot of my favorite moments center around food, holiday preparation and family time through the years. Recently my daughter has become interested in cooking more and I enjoy her new recipes and creations. My husband doesn't cook but helps in prep as directed and is the man for kitchen clean up.
