My Review:
Delicious!!! These are my all time favorite cookies ever. I am not a big cookie person, in fact I really don't even like the store-bought oreo cookies however these are delicious. They do take a lot of time to make but they are worth it in the end.
If you are wanting to give some to friends or neighbors or make for a party, you may consider doubling the batch to get more cookies.
