Making these now (: can’t wait to try them
These weren’t as soft as I’d hoped. If you prefer chewy to crunchy, try baking them for 15 minutes instead of 18-20.

Even baking for only 15 minutes did not yield soft chewy cookies and they didn’t spread much. If you want a thicker crunchier cookie than this is for you.

I had a DIY wedding (10/21/17) and decided on cookies instead of cake (my hubby and I don’t care for cake) and these cookies were easily the favorites. My dad is always begging me to make him these and my mom is begging me not to since he eats them as fast as he can! Thank you for this great recipe!
