I doubled this recipe and just made them as part of my Christmas cookies. These are the best cookies ever! I will make them year round and everyone I gave them to absolutely loved them too! A must try recipe! five stars

I LOVE THESE COOKIES! They're my new favorite, surpassing even the chocolate chip variety! I made my cookies bigger so the recipe only yielded two dozen, but they were gone in one weekend! And to think, this "gift" was actually a regift from another recipient. I gave her a taste and she immediately regretted giving away the recipe! I'm definitely going to be making these for decades to come. five stars

My sister gave me a jar of this mixture for Christmas. I made it today and they are absolutely fabulous! I got 24 good sized cookies out of the mixture. Can't wait to make them again! five stars
