The Best Cookies Ever

For our Fabulous Food month, I wanted to share something brilliant and regency period-appropriate. But I don’t know any authentic regency recipes. What I do know is cookies.  I’ve taken this particular recipe to multiple potlucks and parties, and I have never left without someone requesting the recipe. Not once. If you are sad, these …
