I just had to share my mom's recipe for these drop cookies. The light-as-a-cloud taste is simply heavenly.

I love this recipe, but I did have to modify it after a disastrous first round. I added 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, decreased the brown sugar to 1/2 cup, and added 3 tablespoons of white sugar. This time, they came out perfect!
