Cookies are VERY tasty and I will definitey make them again. HOWEVER, the instructions for how to make the recipe are inaccurate - eggs are on the ingredient list, however they are not on the list of instructions. NOTE: Add eggs to the cookie batter :-)

Well... Lets see... Im 22 years old, Ive had a love affair with food for a long time. Cooking the foods that have been in my family is my VERY favorite thing to do. But dont be fooled I love many different kinds of food. Although I am of a Southern heritage and take soul food very seriously I feel that for me Italian is also my soul food, Ive always been drawn to it. I also love mexican, jamaican, indian food... really any kind of food to me that feels like comfort food. But the most important thing to know about me is that I am a severe, unrelenting CHOCOHOLIC. Thats me in a nutshell!
