This post had me DROOLING, Monique! The oatmeal peanut butter cookies and dark coconut oil chocolate chunk cookies would probably be my favorites, but they all look incredible! Lately, I have been crazy about cookies. Heck, it was my birthday last Sunday and I ate more cookies than birthday cake (spoiler: didn’t have any cake, just cookies and brownies!). But anyways, this is one of my favorite times of the year because of all the baking!
Cookies are the BEST! Happy belated birthday, Cassie! 🙂
these were AMAZING!!!
I love them I made them for a secret Santa look amazing sprinkled a bit of extra salt on the top as we used dark choc which was a bit strong but still amazing!❤️
How long do they stay fresh?
Hi! Glad you found some you loved! Which ones?
