Notes:
We found this recipe by Laura Bush in the Dallas paper when W was running for governor. I changed it up just a little bit, including adding the kosher salt on top, which everyone likes. It quickly became Byron's favorite cookie, and I love baking some for the pros at Byron's tournament! I make these cookies and bring them to the Byron Nelson High School Golf Tournaments for the high school players. I also give them out to the pro golfers each year on the first tee at the AT&T Byron Nelson. Everyone loves these!
