Crispy Crackling Cookies

My son gave me a pretty little package he made at preschool for Valentines Day. It was a cookie starter kit that his teacher helped him make. I forgot all about the starter kit until I found it in my pantry the other day. They were very easy to make and tasted fantastic. We made them as is but will try adding different ingredients like, coconut, chocolate chips and nuts next time. They were chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside - they tasted perfect dipped in ice cold milk. My son and I had a great time making these cookies and an even better time eating them. Thanks Teacher Pat!
