    I don’t know where it went wrong! After I put them in the oven I noticed that the batter was melting and there was a fine layer of butter over the rest of the dough. The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because I left them in the oven while it was cooling and they turned out as one big cookie that tasted pretty good

    Very yummy, put green and red sprinkles on for Christmas. I put a cupcake liner between my palm and the ball of cookie dough, worked well to keep the dough from sticking.
