I tried chocolate cake last year; last week I found out about making zucchini brownies and now this... Thanks now I'm going to have to make both!

Mmmmm, those sound great. We'll have to try them.

Thanks,

I think its funny how you can never hear of something before and then suddenly in the same day you see it twice...am I the only person that happens to?

This is the 2nd recipe TODAY for this kind of cookie.
