Would make this again.
These cookies are delicious. I doubled the recipe and yielded 54 cookies. I took them to a holiday cookie exchange and the only issue with them was that they weren't very attractive looking. I also added white choc chips & craisins which was festive. Anybody have a tip on how to make them look nicer?

This is a great basic recipe. I added white chocolate and cranberry for an extra special treat.

These cookies are GREAT!!! Took them to a cookie exchange last Christmas and they were the hit of the day... I've been asked to bring them again this year. (Don't overbake them and they won't get too hard.) They are really easy to make and taste delicious! Sometimes simple is better...

I tried it. But they were so hard, eating them tires my jaw. I want to make them again cause it tastes nice but how do i not make it so hard?
