Rice Cereal Cookies

I know, a weird name for cookies, but these cookies are a star.  They are buttery and chewy, and just a great cookie.  My Mom got this recipe years ago from one of our teachers, I think.  I am not sure where it came from, I am just happy it came our way.  I make these cookies often. If you want to make a delicious cookie, try these.  They will not disappoint.
