These cookies are super good.
One good way to keep them from sticking to the pan is to use one of those (reusable) silicone cookie sheet liners. They slide right off!
Make sure that the cookie dough is also wrapped tightly enough or else it'll lose moisture in the fridge. I usually roll them in waxed paper then place the rolls into a large ziplock bag to keep in the moisture - this will prevent them from being too dry and crumbling after baking. Also keep them sealed in a tight container. These can easily be frozen as well after baking. 5 stars
