Momma Box Cookies

These delectable cookies are in frequent demand with many of my customers. Made a batch tonight for the freezer that I will bake off tomorrow. BTW, these cookies are delicious crumbled on top of yogurt and drizzled with a bit of local honey! Enjoy! I am really BAD! I won't share this recipe with anyone at work!
