Very tasty. I used a 1" melon scoop to portion these onto the cookie sheet. After the first tray I decided to flatten the dough slightly before baking to achieve a better cookie appearance. Otherwise they look a little like drop biscuits because they don't spread out much, if at all. I only baked half the batch and froze the rest of the pre-portioned dough in a zip top bag. Defrost the dough balls for 15 minutes or so and bake...they come out just great! Next time I will prepare a double batch of dough since it freezes so well. Super convenient to have cookie dough that is ready to go!

Yummmmmm....Quick & easy recipe. I took Sylvie's suggestion of freezing half the dough for another time. Thanks for posting!

BEST cookie recipe ever! I made these last minute to take to a family function and they were a hit. I can't visit any of my relatives anymore without them asking if I brought more of my famous cookies. GREAT recipe! Thanks for sharing!

These are great!! This was the first baking idea I tried off of Zaar and probably was a lot of the reason I wanted to join up and learn more. I first made these in late November and now it is Christmas Eve and I have made my umpteenth batch. Friends and family can't get enough. I tried honey roasted chunky peanut butter in the most recent batches and found it to be a nice variation. You really can't mess this one up- a winner of a recipe- Thanks for sharing!!
