These were really good! I added cashews to mine for something a little different. These had a nice buttery flavor and not too sweet. The only thing I didn't like about these was that they spread, which was pretty flat. Thank you!!!

These were really good. I didn't flatten them before putting them in the oven and they somewhat flattened themselves during the baking process. They kind of had a nice shape to them when I took them out of the oven, and were pretty good.

I've made chocolate chip cookies from scratch before, always good. These were fantastic!!! I didn't make giant ones, just regular size. My kids LOVED them, and they never "LOVE" anything I cook. Thanks for making me look so good.
