I made this cookie on the same day that I made the Jacques Torres’s Chocolate Chip Cookies. The Jacques Torres’s Cookies were big, gorgeous cookies that looked like they came from a bakery and this little cookie could not compete in the looks department, but in the taste department my husband preferred them.
They were chewy and sweet, with no crunchiness in sight. They didn’t really need the icing. I think perhaps Martha just added the icing to dress them up a bit. Mine were really flat and if I make them again I’d try adding a bit more flour.

My sweet mom, who never met a cookie she didn’t like, passed away last night. She was so proud of me. She loved visiting my blog and read every one of my posts. She was my biggest fan. I’ll miss her so much.
Mom’s the first one you call
when the best things happen…
when the worst things happen…
or when you just need to know
someone loves you.
