Hi dolls! So it's clearly been a while since my last post, finding time to bake lately has been a struggle. I found this recipe on Food.com, and the chick who posted it said that it is a recipe from a Williams-Sonoma Kids Baking Cookbook.
They truly are very easy to make, and I actually had all of the ingredients in my kitchen already (not having to drag myself to the store after a long day of work was a huge plus!) I made them for my boss's birthday, and everyone raved about them! I must have sent out this recipe to 5 different people who asked me how to make them. They have the consistency of a cake inside, really moist and soft. Some of my powdered sugar melted off (as seen above) but it didn't make them taste any less awesome! OK so here it goes...
