D & I are spending the evening with some of our dearest Chicago friends in celebration of the holidays & to say good-bye to one member of our little clan. we're in a mad dash to get to the party....but i thought i'd share a delicious cookie recipe that i put together as a small holiday gift. they're just the kind of cookie that i refuse to feel guilty about eating! i mean, they have fruit in them for cryin' out loud!!
