Although I love baking, cookies are my least favorite thing to make! I guess because I made so many thousands of cookies for school parties for the kids and grandkids! HAHA! But these Bitty Goats are quick, easy and delightful! They are a great hit with young and old alike and are one of my family's favorites along with Snickerdoodles! Hope you try them and like them as well as we do!
