When a family member sent us a recipe for Ambrosia Cookies they turned out to be so delicious, The Country Register just wanted to share it with the world! We voted it as having everything a good cookie should have including dates, oatmeal, coconut and a few other special ingrediants to make them extra special. After several batches of cookies, they are still at the top of our list. You can go to www.cooksrecipes.com for the whole recipe. Because of that recipe we have partnered with Hope Pryor, Founder and Owner/Publisher of the site. This Brookings, OR lady has quite a story of how she ended up in business and we are happy to have The Country Register logo on her site and we are more than happy to share some of her published recipes and the link to her site. The recipe here is from www.cooksrecipes.com.
