Butter Crunch Cookies

I made these cookies last night.  They're truly delicious!  I was looking for a new cookie recipe to try, and this one caught my eye.  I brought them to church this morning because the "P's" were serving coffee hour. 

It's quick and very simple.  But don't be scared away by all the butter - it's what makes them nice and crispy!  And, the recipe makes a really large batch.

I added chocolate chips for an extra bit of yumminess. 

Enjoy!
