Cookie Recipe

This is one of those classic treats that you loved as a child and still crave as an adult. The original recipe came from a can of Eagle Brand milk, and really, Eagle’s formula needs no improvement unless you want to be totally decadent and add extra chocolate, coconut, and toast the nuts.
