Paula Deens Chocolate Butter Cookies
On Sunday we had a few family members over for a bit of pre-holiday visitation. We opted for pot-luck appetizer kind of food and everyone brought something. I was not in charge of dessert but could not resist making these cookies as an extra treat. They were so easy and any cookie with “gooey” in the title is sure to be a win.
INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS
