“These are so delicious! I halved the recipe, but I might end up regretting it if I don't show more restraint eating them! They have such a soft, chewy consistency! I let them bake for a couple minutes longer than recommended in order to get the slight browning” — a cook, 5.0★
“Just made these cookies ! They are AMAZING! Nice and chewy! I used my Kamut AP flour and they came out perfect! I rolled a few of them in cinnamon sugar which is also delicious! I love these! Thank you Robyn!!!” — a cook, 5.0★
