Yum Yum! Coooookies

Voila! Here are my Jerome Cookies as promised.

I have to tell about my Mr. Cookie . As I removed the pan of cookie bars from the refrigerator he slowly moved toward me with a sneaky little grin (as if I had no clue what he was up to.) He stayed right beside me as I made each and every cut with the knife so I went as slowly as possible. I am such a tease. :)

As soon as the first cookie came out he gave me that Pleeeeease let me have it look with those pretty blue eyes. How could I ever resist?

His first response with his mouth full was mmmmmm........ these are so good.

Such a simple recipe but so addictive. Go figure!

Once I get the camera that I am wanting, I will have better pictures that show each step of the cookie making process. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one.

Cookie Club Recipe #1

I am so excited about posting tonight. I just announced my giveaway winner and now I an adding my first recipe for the Cookie Club. How fun for me!

So here is our first cookie recipe of many. It is a bar cookie called Jerome Cookies. I have no idea why they are called this unless someone named Jerome created them or just loved them like I do. This is something my Grandmother has made for as long as I can remember during the holidays and I can never eat just one. Yummmmmm-o! Let me know if you post about them and I will visit your blog and add a link to my sidebar. I will be making them this week and of course adding a picture. :)
