SUBMITTED BY: Chris Paulsen

"'This cookie recipe from my 91-year-old grandmother was my grandfather's favorite,' shares Chris Paulsen, Glendale, Arizona. 'She still makes them and sends us home with the dough so that we can make more whenever we want, I love to make a fresh batch when company drops in.'"
