| I'm interested less in the cookies, which sound wonderful, but more in the *boyfriends*, with which we are now negotiating. They do eat a lot, never pay their way (so far), and their only saving grace is the happy (if transient) glow on daughter's face. Any suggestions? PS I adored this article the first time ... |

| lol, well, only one of the boyfriends was a keeper. He still eats a lot, and so do their kids, the eldest having turned 15 this week (lordy, this was all soooo long ago!). I'll be in touch. |

| Kathleen, I'm making these cookies right now. Question about the recipe: it says to roll half the dough into a rectangle & spread the filling on top. Should I top that with the other half of the dough before I roll it, or am I only using half of the filling and making 2 rolls? |

| You are both making two rolls - and the filling recipes are enough for one roll each.
Sorry, this is why I seldom share recipes - I always forget something important. I'm afraid it's a family thing - my grandmother bless her dear heart - gave her bread recipe with twice too much flour. lol, I try! |

| Glad you liked them, but then butter, sugar, chocolate, what's not to like!
No chocolate chips!! Around here that nears disaster status. |

| I SO hear ya on that :-) I am going to 'gift' almost half of each batch .. just trying to figure out how to make the rolls easier to roll .. more flour on the board I guess ??
Both recipes make a YUMMY cookie (despite the fact I OOPSIED the cranrasin) |

| Sorry, mine are all either gone or "spoken for". DH is now also ignoring my double-chocolate oatmeal cookies in favor of these. Soon I suspect he'll be ignoring the persimmon bread that's in the oven in favor of them as well...LOL!! |
