Cookies are better after a few days, they soften.
These cake-like cookies are a recipe my mom made when I was a kid. Laura Ashby Contents for a jar that is filled with the makings for chocolate chip cookies. These make wonderful gifts to give any time of year and also for wedding favors, hostess gifts, baby showers or take to a cookie exchange. They are great for gift-giving or bake sales. At holiday time, stick a candied cherry in the center of each cookie.
