Cookie recipes like Frosted Banana Split Drops, Easy Elephant Ears, Chocolate Almond Biscotti, Crispy Caramel Haystacks, and Holiday Cranberry Cookies.

These macaroons were crispy on the outside and yummy chewy on the inside.
The cookbook included 4 variations, kids adored the cornflakes instead of coconut in these Cornflake Macaroons. What a great idea!!
