 This week's Cookie of the week is
brought to us by Debra
Shaughnessy. Her Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies are a big hit at her
house! Thanks Deb for sharing this terrific recipe with us!
My name is Debra Shaughnessy, I've been married for 16
years and I have three children, 1 boy and 2 girls. We live in Knoxville
Tennessee and I'm a stay at home mom. In the winter time we love to bake cookies
and one of our favorites is Jumbo Chocolate chip Cookies, it has peanut butter in them
which is a grand treat for my family! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
