These look great! I’m so glad you joined me for 12 Days of Cookies. I’m having so much fun baking and trying out new recipes.
Thanks so much for participating! What a great cookie recipe and one for me to try soon!
What a fun event! All of your cookies look amazing! I can see why these are your husband’s favorite…they sound delish!
I would love to write about your recipe on our blog! If you are interested send me an email at haley@keyingredient.com
Thanks!

I’m trying these cookies for the first time and froze 1/2 the batch for later. How do you bake after freezing? Do you defrost and then bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes? or go straight from the freezer to oven and just bake longer? Thanks for the recipe!
Katherine – I’ve never froze the cookies, but my mother in law does it all the time. She said she puts them on a cookie sheet and lets them defrost on the counter for about 15 minutes before baking them as usual.
