Updated on Aug 3, 2011

Another great recipe from Belle Oaks Inn in Gonzales, Texas! I bake these cookies fresh every day and leave one under a cheese dome with a welcome note for our guests on the first night of their stay. Makes approximately 9 BIG cookies or around 12-15 smaller cookies per batch. My KitchenAid mixer whips these up in no time, but you can mix by hand as well.
