The cookies were excellent and I am glad that I doubled the recipe when I made them otherwise they would be all gone for sure. As it is I have limited my kids to them and with 3 teenagers you can imagine how fast they would have gone otherwise. I have also made enough for my future stepchildren and am sure they will be just as impressed as my kids. Thanks for another good recipe to add to my collection.
