Loula V. York BranchThese cookies are delectable—warm, soft, and sugary, they’ll fill you with a slight melancholy and remind you of those you once loved. It’s not a coincidence. Legend has it that these cookies are made with the tears of a lost soul: a ghost who once loved and was loved but is now condemned to wander the astral plane alone. We’ll substitute vanilla for actual ghost tears, but, y’know, same idea. Easy, step-by-step instructions—beginner bakers welcome! Recipe provided via email after registration.
