I love cookies that are out of the ordinary and these butternuts certainly fit the bill. I love how they are bite-size, too. You can pop ’em in your mouth like candy. They make wonderful Christmas gifts. Place them into a decorative tin with waxed paper and there you go! Or, if you are a hungry little gapher such as myself, you can make a batch and hoard them in your kitchen pantry.
She’s right. Everyone will eat these delicious little butternut cookies up so you had better make a double batch.
