Now these cookies- let me tell you….they are truly amazing. Soft, chewy, buttery but with a little bit of cakiness to really make them thick. I can tell you that even when they are 24+ hours old, people are still raving over them.

I made them for a party a couple weeks ago & people wouldn’t get away from the bowl. We then took some extras we had left behind over to another gathering the next day. Still just as good & people devoured them in just a few minutes.

Now- one thing about these cookies- you have to let them chill. I know, it’s a bummer, I totally get it. But let me tell you- it’s so worth it.

Chilling helps them keep their shape when they bake & not spread too much. It also helps bind the flavors & it really does create the most AMAZING cookie!

So what I usually do is whip up the dough after dinner & pop it in the fridge. Then when I get up in the morning I can just heat the oven, scoop them all out on the trays & bake. It actually makes it easier to break it out & then the cookies are nice & fresh for our game day parties! YUUUUMMMM!!
