I don’t have a big repertoire of recipes for cookies. For some reason, I have always thought they were harder to make. However, I decided last year to try to make sablés with coconut flakes. They were a hit! I like to make them during the holiday since I already make chocolate cake , mousse. So there isn’t a need for chocolate chips cookies.
This recipe is very easy to make and definitely a fun recipe to make with the kids. These cookies don’t last long when are make them and are great to make during the holiday season.
