something happened to my grandmother's cookies in the 1990s. I swear she was worried about some of us (her ~20 grandchildren at the time, mostly boys) were becoming fatty boom batties, and did SOMETHING to make them healthier. they want from epic, memorable, worthy of people assaulting me upon entering my dorm room, to just ordinary. overnight.
I think she was worried about us, and whatever she did, she took it to her grave.
in conclusion, I'm taking this recipe.
