I owe you a great review. I’ve made these cookies so many times since finding this recipe a few months ago! I love that they’re dairy free. And i like them with or without the white chocolate. I’ve made them in a few different sizes and they turn out delicious every time. I especially like making little cookies and baking them for only 7-10 minutes. They’re chewy and perfect. Thanks for posting this recipe!

These cookies are light and crispy, just like I like them. The only thing I did that wasn’t in the recipe is smash each pre-cooked cookie ball with a glass before I baked them.

I accidentally forgot the eggs and didn’t realize it until I’d already baked half the batch! Since I’d already made half of them, I just added one egg. The egg made all the difference in their lightness and appearance. Imagine that!

I think the next time I make them, I’m going to add a tiny bit of cloves to give them even more of an Autumn bite! I’ll also remember to add the eggs up front. :)

Also – it made nearly 6 dozen for me. I’ll definitely be making these again!
