Storage Instructions
Once baked, these cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead/Freezer Instructions
As with many other cookie recipes, I usually make a batch of dough, then bake half and freeze the other half.
When you want a cookie, just bake the frozen dough by adding 2-4 minutes onto the cook time. These are perfect to have on hand for those nights when you just need a little something sweet!

Hello,
I’m on a stick Keto diet and would love to know the nutritional information before I try these! They look amazing!
I made these earlier this month for a cookie exchange and may I say that this recipe was the biggest hit!! Everyone there wanted the recipe and when I brought some to my office, the entire office wanted the recipe as well. My daughter-in-law insists that I make them for Christmas Eve. My husband is excited that I’m making more for the Holiday.
These are now my go to recipe. Love them. Made several varieties. Used mini red and green M&M’s tonight for Christmas cookies. Thanks for this recipe.
I’m tried the recipe and me and my family enjoyed the cookies very much do you have recipes with out eggs. Very simple to make
Thanks for the recipe will recommend it to the rest of the friends and family.
Just made these, changed the brown sugar for swirve and added 3/4 tsp of Xanthan gum.they are for my son he is trying to use less sugar and more almond flour or coconut flour and oil.I must say he liked this recipe very much and they even suprised me so thank you for the recipe
I usually try to make paleo versions of things to avoid grains, and they never come out with the taste/texture quite right. I made this recipe with brown sugar…and wholly guacamole are these good!!! You weren’t kidding about them being crunchy outside and soft inside and PERFECT right out of the oven. I’ve made 3 batches this week and no one can tell they aren’t “normal” cookies!! (Even the raw batter tastes/textures almost perfect.) Thank you so much. It’s definitely a keeper!! Can’t wait to try your sugar cookie recipe for the holidays.
these were amazingly good! in fact my family thought they were just as good as my regular choc chip cookies!! thanks for the recipe!

Made these for our out of state guests this weekend and we all LOVED them! I refrigerated the dough while we went out to dinner and baked them when we got home. I added a couple of minutes to the baking time. Planning on making them for a a Christmas Cookie Swap this coming weekend!❤️❤️
