I have revised this recipe by adding the juice of an orange as well as vanilla extract. I also add white chocolate chips and toasted, chopped pecans, and it makes for that perfect sweet and salty harmony that everyone craves. Anytime I make these, they disappear fast and have requests to make them again and again!

These were my brothers favorite cookie. One thing I learned from him is that it is ok to melt the butter in the microwave. He had arthritis and it made it hard to cream the butter and sugar. It does not impact the recipe cookies turned out the same.

Favorite Cookies

These are by far one of the best cookies I have ever made. I made them for Cake Day at the end of my basketball season where everyone brings in a dessert for a party, and when I brought these people were hesitant to eat them because of appearance, but I influenced them to taste them and they were gone just like that.
