These were delish. They ran all over the pan when I cooked - may try refrigerating the "batter" before I cook them the next time to see if that helps. My son drizzled melted dark chocolate over 1/2 of them - tastes just like a Mounds candy bar.

Not a very sweet cookie. Wished it was a tad sweeter, or had a sweet icing.

Cooked them on a silpat for 10 minutes. Just ate half a dozen for quality assurance. Crispy and toasty.

I have not had these for years, at first I didn't know what they were or what they tasted like until my ex mother in law made them one day, I have just found the recipe for these online, I will be definitely be making them for myself and my son

Baking them now! I added a few tbsps of cocoa powder and that batter tastes great! Can't wait to eat these!
