Really good, but I think there’s a bit too much butter for my taste. Next time I’ll reduce it a little.
I tried making these but used mint chocolate chips instead. The taste was so overpowering! Not what I expected.
These cookies are amazing! I added extra chips and they turned out perfect. My family can’t get enough!
