World's Best Cookies

I guess I should start out by saying I did not name these cookies, this is what we always called them growing up and it is the title on the top of the recipe.  They are very good and very tasty cookies but there is a possibility you may have tried a better cookie in your life.

While I was out of commission with my leg and staying at my wonderful in-laws house I started looking through my MIL's cook books.  I always enjoy looking through other peoples cook books for new ideas.  As I was looking through one of them I found a cookie recipe that looked very similar to one my Mom would often make when I was growing up.  I was excited to find it and I told my Mom about the recipe.  She was kind enough to make them from the recipe I had found when I was next at her house but they were not quite right.  On the weekend while digging out another recipe my Mom found the recipe she used while I was growing up.  I thought I better post it so I can always have access to it.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I always have!
