The simple recipe was passed on to her through the family. I still remember coming home from school and grabbing a big handful. The snack was sweet, but I was young enough that it didn't bother my stomach — even when I ate a lot of it.
After I re-created a cookie recipe I came up with in elementary school, I started thinking about other treats that stuck out in my memory from childhood, and this recipe was the first to come to mind. I'm not much of a baker, but when my mom told me the recipe only needed four ingredients, I knew I had to make it as an adult. I wanted to see if it was as good as I remember.
