I remember them being on your bucket list, and they are so easy to make, please give them a try :)
That is sweet to make something for Eric's bake sale! The hubs and I were taking just last night and I'm not sure I recall ever having a Valentine's Day party, I just handed out Barbie and Thundercat valentines and called it a day. What a deprived child I was. Maybe I'll make these to console myself!
ReplyDeleteEmily!!! Girl, you have creativity oozing out of your pores. LOVE the looks of these cookies. I can only imagine how delicious they are (I'm a sucker for cookies & cream). You are a constant inspiration :).

ReplyDeleteBoys are funny about the things they think are nerdy. Math clubs and geology clubs apparently - cool. Being an MD/PhD student...apparently not as cool.

ReplyDeleteHi Suzi, reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon and you should be fine!
DeleteCould I make this a chocolate dough? Maybe 1/2 cup cocoa powder and only 1 and 1/2 cups flour? This recipe looks awesome! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think that sounds like a fantastic idea! The proportions sound about right to me.
