I made your recipe last night, Jett. There isn't one cookie left on the plate this morning! (I think the Midnight Muncher finished them off!)These were really good and I'll be making another batch this afternoon! Never can have enough good cookies around! Thanks so much for the recipe! They are a family favorite now!
