Tiffany's mom, Lynda, shared this recipe with us years ago and it has been a favorite ever since.  She is a master cook and can bake like none other.  Love going to Tiffany's Halloween party every year where her mom always brings these treats to share!  These cookies are almost as sweet as she is... almost!
