My husband, Rob, texted me the other day that the national,chain where he got his iced coffee had sugar cookies too. They looked good, he thought, but were probably dry. I said yes, probably. I think he was dropping a hint that he would like a sugar cookie. I felt lile Monica in a “Friends” episode..being challenged to make a better cookie than a billion dollar company. So voila, here are a dozen. He can eat one and I take the rest to work.
