I was so confused about what should I serve to my office colleagues for the evening snacks, when I suddenly remembered about this yummy delight that my mom used to cook(I simply loved it as a child). She used to make it every year before Christmas and store in containers (though me and Jack- my brother- made it sure that they never existed till Christmas!). So I just made her a call and she told me how to make it and then I just started. I was a little afraid whether I would be able to recreate the taste she had in her cookies. But when I tasted them the very next day, I simply could not believe it that I have made them. They were so easy to make and tasted awesome. My colleagues were all praises for me. They simply loved it. I was really happy to see this and so decided to share the great recipe with you. After all you deserve to pamper yourself with these yummy delights!
