The Farmer Family Cookbook

< Picture 1 of 1 >

This was a recipe given to me by Barbara Perryman Bibbins. It is a GOOD chocolate cookie recipe! I have made it many times. Jennifer Crites: Mom sent these cookies to me in a Pringles Potato Chip canister when I was on my mission in Honduras. It brought such a sense of home to receive one of my favorite cookies!
