Whenever I have been in situations where the times are tough, the cookies always come out, the talk always ensues over a plate of this or that. So many friends have shared so many things over a plate of cookies. What lovely memories of your friend and the times you had with her. I wish I lived close enough to come over with a plate of cookies...instead, just hugs from here. Your cookies look wonderful, they were a big hit here because the guys love them crunchy! Tollhouse is a favorite around here as well.

I have been blessed with a few such amazing gifts of friendships, but none have been tested like that. You guys truly were soul-mates!<br /><br />And now, it feels silly to mention the cookies, but I will. Seems like most of us got a flatter cookie out of these.
