Cabin Fever Cookies

The ice that visited Dallas on Tuesday has not left! Luckily, I can do some of my work from home because I DO NOT do icy roads. Schools have been closed all week and are closed again tomorrow. I am definitely starting to develop some cabin fever. Karen, a friend and co-worker of mine, came up with some delicious cookies to cure her cabin fever. I wish I had all these ingredients in my pantry because these cookies look amazing! I am trying to talk Karen into having her own food blog! Hopefully after this guest post, she will get the blogging bug and start her own
