Loved it. I modified it a little. I omitted the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups. Scooped up the dough in a 1 tsp. cookie scoop. Put them in paper lined tassie pans and baked for 13 min. I then took them out of the oven and pressed a mini peanut butter cup on top. Hubby thought they were great. The recipe made almost 7 dozen with the small scoop. Great christmas cookie. It"s a keeper.
