Would not make this again.
The cookies were dry and the chocolate chips did not melt evenly. I would not make again.

Would not make again. They are dry and very crumbly and more like a cake than bars. Not a good xmas type treat to store

I found them to be very dry. I followed the directions perfectly. I even made them twice.

Not bad, but if you eat one by itself (without coffee or tea) it is very dry tasting. I make the receipe exactly as the ingredients called.
