Introduction

I do not know who gave me this recipe but this was a monthly treat at my home for a while, then it became a weekly treat, then I felt I needed to move or bake them everyday. So I move and now when the recipe was ask for I had to dig it up. It all about getting anger out in a good way, instead of bottling it up and it sure works. The cookies taste great, even if is a bit of a weird combination and you feel happier inside.
