About A Cowboy's Wife
I think THESE might be my new favorite. They are amazing. Off to buy macadamia nuts!
Oh my goodness! I just want to take a spoon and dig into that bowl!
These are probably one of my top 3 favorite cookies…my absolute favorite is probably chocolate chip with mini M&Ms (like you get at the Great American Cookie Company at the mall) followed by Peanut Butter with peanut butter chips. Ohhh…I haven’t even had breakfast yet!
Made the oatmeal/chocolate no-bakes yesterday for a 4-H meeting. Everyone loved them but they were a little too crumbly. Maybe because I used rolled oat instead of quick. They were all ate up quickly.
Oh, and great shot of the egg going into the batter.
I love this recipe. My favorite has been the ones from Mrs. Fields, but now these may take her place. I also love biscotti of all kinds. I’m attaching an easy plain biscotti recipe that works well and tastes great dunked in a warm drink.

My husband will love you. These are his favorite! Thanks!
Found one that you used your mixer on!!! This looks like a really yummy recipe!
Yummy. I can’t wait to make them. & I entered the giveaway for the mixer.
I’m thinking these might go into my holiday baking rotation this year–maybe drizzled with white chocolate to dress them up for the cookie tray!
Do you have to use butter or can you use margarine. I want to bake these delicious looking cookies today. Hope they turn out and look as good as the picture and what all the reviews say how good they are.
Ummm….my favorite cookies. Will definitely make these when I have an extra pound of butter in my fridge!
So i made these last night for the honey and my oldest son… I cut the recipe in half and i shouldnt have. They ate half of the cookies last night. They just called me at work to let me know again HOW FANTASTIC and soft the cookies are. This Recipe is a KEEPER!! Thanks!!
Hi, your cookies looks so delish. Really looking forward to making them. Just wondering whether I can opt out the granulated sugar as I do not want them to be too sweet. Thanks heaps!
