GONE TO HEAVEN COOKIES

I found this recipe 20 years ago in my mom's recipe box. It was a very old newspaper clipping, but I don't recall her ever making them. I updated it a bit and baked a cookie that my friend named by saying, "Oh, I've died and gone to heaven!"

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather all your ingredients and tools. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use room temperature ingredients: This helps them mix together more easily and evenly.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the mixture, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature and for the right amount of time: Underbaked cookies will be soft and gooey, while overbaked cookies will be hard and dry.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Gone to Heaven Cookies are a delicious and classic cookie recipe that is sure to please everyone. With their sweet and chewy texture and their rich, buttery flavor, these cookies are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're baking them for a holiday party or just for a special treat, Gone to Heaven Cookies are sure to be a hit.
