These seriously melt in your mouth. I know that right now, with the heat it is a little hard to think about “fall” but in a few short weeks, a cool breeze will blow through and you will be searching for just the perfect cookie to sit down and munch on while you sip a mug of coffee, while leafing through your new October issue of Southern Living Magazine.
