German Chocolate Cookies

 

 

I recently discovered this cookie and it was beyond fabulous. As a result, I’ve decided to issue “The Great Cookie Challenge”, on my Facebook account. Please feel free to post a link, recipe, whatever to my Facebook account or to my Pinterest account and if  your recipe is chosen you’ll receive a dozen cookies made by me.
