I used this recipe for an idea that required a cookie base which wouldn't be eaten so I didn't add the chocolates. I was bringing a cookie sheet as part of a bridal gift and decided to rename this the Cuban Cookie and topped this dough with $34 in dimes. The couple are getting married in Cuba in Jan 2012!! I always aim for different, unique and homemade gift ideas

I actually made this a friend's grandson who waisted no time at all devouring this huge cookie, I baked mine on a 12-inch round pizza pan that I lined with foil and greased generously with Pan Release, Professional Pan Coating (Better Than Pam Spray!), thanks for sharing this great treat Sharlene!...Kitten
