I am so excited about these cookies! This may be surprising, but I actually don't eat the baked goods that I make. The rest of the family does, but I typically don't unless I need to taste it for recipe creating. Not that I am against treats. If you know me, you know I LOVE treats. For some reason if I make them I end up not wanting any. It's just a weird thing. However, these cookies were definitely the exception. I had an embarrassing amount and if I didn't force myself to stop I honestly could have eaten the whole tray. They have become my most favorite thing. I recommend sticking exactly to the recipe because I can't imagine doing a single thing differently. I passionately love these cookies. I hope you do too!
