It's a day for cooking cookies

As my white elephant gift for a party tomorrow I decided I'd make cookies, in part because I ADORE these cookies and in part because I'm tired of bringing 'amusing' gifts to white elephant exchanges.  Besides, these are tasty.

So, in between finishing up this damn prospectus that has been my procrastination piece for like this entire semester, I am making cookies.

And I'm saving the recipe here because I have to search every frigging year for it.
