Review: I liked these cookies more than I thought I would. The reason for this being that while I was making them I decided to sample the dough, like I do with all the cookies I bake. Anyway, I took a taste of the dough and it was NOT good. I spit it out dissapointedly and just stuck the remaining dough in the fridge thinking that I probably woukdn't end up baking it. Well I got thinking about it and decided I might as well bake the dang cookies, so I did! And they were really good! I would deffinitely make these again.
