Virtual Cookie Exchange

My dear BYU friend Elsha Haberle challenged her blog readers to a virtual cookie exchange (http://corncowsandkountrylane.blogspot.com/2008/08/cookie-exchange-contribution.html). I willingly accepted the challenge, for yet another reason to bake my VERY favorite cookies of ALL TIME. That's right folks. Of all my 30 years of existence, these are my favorite. Truly.

And now I take the opportunity to challenge my blog readers to join the virtual cookie exchange. Post your favorite cookie recipe for the world wide web to enjoy!
