DON’T OVER BAKE.
You know who gave me this recipe? My Dear Late Granny’s mailwoman, that’s who. I can tell it’s my grandma’s recipe cuz it calls for Powder Sugar (not “powdered sugar”) and cuz she shouts “DON’T OVER BAKE” at me, even from beyond the grave. I love her so.
You should probably serve these with ice tea, made the “right” way — pounds of sugar melted into it while tea is still hot, then ice it down.
Bon appetit!

Would these be good without nuts? Max won’t eat nuts in cookies…

Yes. We are nutty enough without the nuts over here.
