I loved these cookies! I had guests coming and even though I had intentions of taking pictures, there were no leftovers! Made exactly as written, except they were in the fridge overnight. I think they would make great drop cookies too. (i.e. skip the chilling part and just go for spoonfuls on the baking sheet.)
