Usually, I have to cut the recipe of whatever I’m baking in half since we’re now a two-person household. Not these cookies, though—they are just sooo good. Sweet but not too sweet. So satisfying. Simple but memorable. The perfect ending to a meal. Plus, they’re quick, easy, and freeze well.

Btw—if you’ve never used parchment paper, give it a try—no clean up! Also, if you have a stand mixer, use it for this recipe—I believe it improves the final product.
