TEXAS: Munch your way across the USA. Pauleta Hicks, the state of Texas is now represented. This recipe is from "Capitol Cookies" with recipes from every state capital & Washington, DC. This recipe was submitted to this cookie cookbook by the Catholic Family Fraternal of Texas in Austin, Texas. I personally have not made these so, Pauleta, if you make these, let us know if they make your state proud.
