The Cookie with 100 Names

Ok here's another long lost, "old fashioned" recipe for ya! For some reason the pouring rain here in Halifax reminded me of these cookies. I don't think its really an Old Fashioned recipe but they've been around FOREVER and I used to make them with my mom when I was just a wee one. So they are Old Fashioned to me.

Whether you call them Spider Cookies {how they were known in our house}, Haystacks, Chocolate Macaroons, or Frogs these cookies are always good! and so so easy! I whipped these up while Tyler and Charlee were putting together her Hungry Hungry Hippos Game and had the first game.  We all played a few games while they were cooling, then sat down with Milk and Spider Cookies. Made for a great family evening. So lets get to it shall we, the recipe!
