MRS. HAGAN'S COOKIES

Cafe Treats Baker Judy made these delicious cookies back in the spring, but never gave me the recipe. So when Judy made and brought them two weeks ago, I made sure I got the recipe this time to share with you. 

Mrs. Hagan is a member of the our church, but I don't know the story of how Judy and her husband Tom got the recipe. I would love to meet her so I could let her know how popular her cookies are. They never last long when Judy brings them.

The directions have you form the dough into rolls wrapped in wax paper and refrigerated. To bake the cookies, you slice the roll. It did say that you could roll the dough into balls, roll in sugar and press down to bake. I asked Judy what she did and she said that she formed the balls and then rolled them in the sugar. She didn't press them flat. Personally with the ingredients in the cookies, I would find it difficult to slice the chilled roll and would definitely do as Judy and use my cookie scoop and then roll the scoop in the sugar and bake.

Since the Cafe Treats is a nut-free zone, Judy omits the 1/2 cup of nuts. Tom often complains because I won't let them include nuts, but the cookies taste great without them and people who have nut allergies don't have to worry about choosing any of the treats to eat.
