About

This recipe was given to me over 20 years ago and has been the most requested cookie in my house!

Be sure to bring it to a rolling boil, constantly stirring to prevent the milk from scalding and for 1 1/2 minutes to reach the proper temperature it needs to set up. Less cooking time could result in too soft cookies that don't set well.
