You don't need to tell me...I know they look good.

Tagalongs are by far my favorite cookie of all time.  No matter how sick I feel I can always still finish my third box in one sitting. I mean there is only 15 per box, they go down quick.   I figured it was a blessing that they are not able to be purchased year round. Ya know, only when the girl scouts are outside of Walmart and you happen to have $3.50 on you? So I googled "home made Tagalongs" the other day.


I only made half of what the recipe called for.  It was either because I was afraid they would be horrible and not live up to the true beauties, or that I would eat them all before bed, or that I only had 1 stick of butter and 1/2 tsp. of vanilla left and the recipe called for twice that amount.  It started out just grand when I went to go get the 3 ingredients I needed.


1st ingredient needed- I forgot   


2nd ingredient needed- What the heck is cocoa butter and where do you find it other than the lotion aisle??


3rd ingredient needed-I bought milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.


Needless to say I had to sleep on all of this and wake up and make them on a fresh day without the embarrassment. And after I picked up peanut butter and realized that I could use vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter.

Besides the rich milk chocolate, they turned out amazing.  
This is what the real deal looks like.

I can't believe I just did a whole post on Tagalong cookies.
