Layered cookie mixes in a far are so much fun. These were good cookies made also. To achieve the best results we had to turn down the heat to 350 and shorten the baking time. Made for Aus swap.

These were nice...a lot of chocolate chips! (That's good, I think!) We gave some mix as gifts and made some for us, too. The gifts were pretty, but next time I would rearrange and break up the layers to make it more visually appealing (though it wasn't bad as it is written.)

I tweaked it a little bit, but it was a great cookie! Yum!
