I just had to share this recipe. This recipe was given to me years ago by a sweet woman who use to own a gourmet coffee shop and deli here in Placerville...I couldn't believe it when she told me the recipe....too good to be true! My son would come home after school with his friends and head right to the kitchen to bake up a batch of these...they would then proceed to eat every single one of them! Here it is....oh! I didn't leave ANYTHING out...promise.
