I’ve made this recipe and my family loves it. They enjoy it so much that I make this cookie dough in advance. I place on saran wrap, roll it into a log then refrigerate. Then when they “pester” me for these cookies , all I have to do is cut the dough and bake according to the recipe. Perfect, delicious cookie every time!
