FANTASTIC! It is the perfect cookie recipe, cheap to make & easy to make, easy to clean up, uses what I always have on hand and is so so delicious. They are perfect with a cup of Earl Grey and wont be lasting long in my house. I also think they are the perfect cookie for a Christmas cookie tray as well. Thank you for sharing!
