These are Terrel’s favorite cookies. And so we made a batch to take along camping! Which was postponed due to weather, and so we popped them in the freezer.
I will warn you now that it is pretty much impossible to eat just one.
I’ve made these numerous times in the past and couldn’t get them to consistently come out of the oven still puffy. Until this time.
You have to understand it’s not my nature to venture boldly into the unknown – in other words, “deviate from the recipe”, but I bolstered myself up and added a little more flour.
And it worked!!
“It wasn’t my fault, Mom. The chocolate made me eat it.”
Now for the recipe! Pour yourself a steaming cup of coffee or cold glass of milk . . . and enjoy.

Love these cookies!

thank-you for making the recipe large enough for a big family. I have a recipe for these but it makes about 2 dozen. Two dozen last an afternoon with 6 kids around!

You’re very welcome! They aren’t huge cookies, but 85 can last at least 3 days. 😉 Usually . . .

Good morning! I love these cookies! These are in my top 5 favorites but it seems to be tradition in parts round here that they are only made at Christmas time 🙁 But I am going to change that and make some this week 🙂 Thank you for posting this recipe. It was nice to see that someone make them at a different time of year.
Living in the Shoe says
Yeah, we love them at Christmas, too! These do take a little more work with rolling in sugar, so we usually leave them for special occasions. Hope you enjoy them!
