I'm sending two of my favorite dessert recipes. Since it is a pot luck, I always try to think of easy hand food. The first recipe, I have had for years and everybody asks for the recipe when I bring them, so I started bringing copies with me.
CRISPY COOKIES
These are the best cookies, they have a great flavor and the Rice Krispies give it a nice crunch. The recipe makes a large amount of cookies. When I take these to our quilting retreats, there are never any cookies left.
