My good friend Anne at Comfort Food Warms Your Soul is having a Holiday Cookie Recipe Exchange.
I know you've all got your favorite holiday recipes, some handed down through generations. Well, I guess you could say this is a three-generation hand-me-recipe. My granddaughters love making these. This is my favorite homemade cookie. It's sweet, chewy, crispy, and super easy to make... all the things that make a cookie good!
When my daughter was very young, I sent off a dollar plus some box tops (I think) to redeem for a Jello recipe book. All the recipes call for a Jello gelatin or pudding product. This recipe contains instant pudding and a cake mix, so all you calorie-conscious readers beware!
These cookies are great to include with edible gifts for Christmas, as they are green! They look lovely paired with candy-cane cookies on a platter. I'm sorry I don't have a photo of them, but I did upload the recipe as a jpg file! So save it, try them, and let me know what you think.
