Great cookies.. The kids are still munchingon them. Though I did not use a cookie cutter, I used a knife and cut them into rectangles (bars). Very chewy cookies,full of flavor. I also used 3 drops of food coloring. Made for PRMR tag..

These are sooo good! I couldn't help but eat some right off the pan and take a photo of it so I can eat them right away. I must confess that I froze them for a week instead of overnight but glad to say that they still came out great and the pink dough was still pliable after a few minutes and can be rolled out. It wasn't pink after it was baked even if I placed more than 4 drops, maybe just a slight tinge which is hardly visible but I didn't mind since the taste alone was good- not overly sweet. Color's very light, had a nice chewy soft texture. The ones I left longer had a crunch to them on the outside but chewy inside so it depends on the baking time. I prefer it when they're served warm with coffee. Thank you for posting this, Chef Jean! Made for Pink Tag.
