These cookies were delicious! They were eaten really fast in my family. Even though these cookies were really good the recipe was super hard to follow, it was a little bit confusing. Though they where hard I do recommend these cookies for ages 13 up!

Review

These cookies came out pretty great. It was an overall delicious recipe, they were gone within a few hours. Though the cookies were very good the recipe was standard but it wasn’t the best recipe to follow, especially for kids. I would recommend this recipe if you have already had at least a bit of experience with baking, but you should check it out because the cookies where great!
