These cookies did not stay around the house long, everyone loved this variant on a traditional chocolate chip cookie. We loved them so much that for the Super Bowl, I made mini ones to use for markers for our Super Bowl bingo. The mini ones are also great to give as gifts, just the right size for a sweet treat. We made two batches of minis for Natalie to give to her friends.
