  • Bake in brick oven at 375° for approx. 20 min.
  • Try to keep oven door closed during baking time to help cookies rise better!
  • Cookies are done when a toothpick is inserted into the center of the pan of cookies and comes out clean.

  • Just one of those desserts no one seems to get tired of eating!

Notes

  • If you prefer use an electric mixer for this recipe.
  • Want to make the dough ahead of time? Just wrap in plastic wrap and seal in a bag or air tight container. Keep in refrigerator (1 week) or freezer (3 months).
  • Takes about 3 hours to thaw frozen cookie dough in fridge.
  • Not recommended to thaw cookie dough at room temp. due to dough containing eggs which could cause bacteria to grow. Yuck!
  • Want to go the extra mile and put this dessert over the top? Serve a wedge shaped cookie warmed with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top and just wait for the loud chorus of yummy noises from those you are entertaining!!
