I grew up on these cookies...my mother made them all the time and when I started having children of my own, she passed the recipe down to me. I wanted to make some the other day and was heartbroken when I couldn't find my recipe! Thank goodness I found it here. There are, without a doubt, the best cookies! If you like chewy cookies, you will love these! -
I, too, grew up on these cookies, and when I started my family my mother passed the recipe down to me also!! I love them...my very favorite cookie and my kids (who are now adults) still love them!! -
These were great. My husband and all my kids (6) loved them. One was hesitant, but ended up eating about 4 of them. She is typically picky. She said that there wasn't enough chocolate.
