The second cookie recipe Chris requested this year was Melt in Your Mouth Cookies. I had never had these cookies before celebrating Christmas with the Hofreiters, and this was my first time making them. They are very thin, a little chunky and kind of lacy looking, but so melty once you bite into them.

Take them out as they start to brown around the edges, the middles may still look a little gooey, that's alright. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for a minute or two and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
