Desperation Cookies image

I love these cookies! They are sooo good & always come out perfectly done. Evryone I've ever made them for compliments them. (The only problem is it makes 10 dozen, althought I guess that could be a good thing....) I got this recipe from Joanne Fluke's book Peach Cobbler Murder.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I always have them on hand for unexpected guests.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was skeptical at first, but these cookies were a hit! They're soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness.
