I like these cookies because they are not super sweet!

This is misleading because I didn't actually make these for my dinner group, we kind of have a rule against desserts. But...desserts happen to be my favorite thing to make, so I think I'll still post good dessert recipes, I bake at least once a week either for my family or to bring in to work. Scroll down to see what I actually DID make for the group.
