I tried making these cookies with my 9 y.o. daughter - very easy & impossible to ruin! Ingredients were easy to find, mixed well & baked just as directed. They never burned or fell apart! Definite keeper!

The horses at our barn loved them. They got a little mushy from the humidity, but were still a big hit!
