Would make this again.
These cookies are wonderful! I made 2 batches and ended up with about 35 small cookies. You can also 'play' with the 'addin' ingredients..nuts,chips,etc. This is a keeper for my recipe box! As a Give on Holiday 'Cookies In a Jar' Recipe, it's a great recipe!! five stars

We LOVE these cookies. This year we made them for Christmas gifts. To make them look a little more festive I dipped half the cookie in melted white chocolate and sprinkled chopped dried cranberries on the white chocolate. My family has voted that they are even better this way. We then put the finished cookies into a quart jar for our packaging. They looked really cute. I had to make them half the size the recipe call for. With this smaller size, I yielded approx 55 cookies. five stars

These cookies are very easy to make and my family loved them - the first batch disappeared literally overnight! It yielded 24 medium-sized cookies. Definitely try this recipe!! five stars
