As a hectic mom and pediatrician, I bake to relax. My husband normally does not eat sweets but one day he told me about a cookie that he absolutely loved. Well, you know what they say, you can earn a man's heart through his stomach. After several attempts, we came up with this recipe. I added the orange flavoring and some coconut for a little twist. He says they are better than the original cookie he fell in love with it! Not bad, coming from the man who has been my harshest food critic! Eating these cookies makes my husband and 2 kids happy, which is why he named them "Dr. Yvette's feel good cookies".
