Doreen's Notes:

These are awesome cookies!! While I was on Vancouver Island I participated in the Farmers Market with my soap...across from me was this lady that made these cookies and sold them for a dollar each...
I had one every Saturday morning at the market...so delicious...she only shared the recipe with me because I was leaving the island!! Enjoy all!!

Mine too...he's so funny my husband....he always says he doesn't like cake so I make a cake because I feel like something sweet thinking I can freeze some...(BTW...i have nothing against frozen cake believe me...had many a breakfast of frozen Sara Lee cake and pie when I was in my 20's)but I get up in the morning after he has been up in the night and half the cake is gone!!
He does love blueberrries though and would eat ANYTHING with blueberries in it!!
