Recipe Notes

-These cookies taste great fresh out of the oven, but they might get a little crumbly while still warm.   They retain their shape better after they’ve cooled, or have been stored in the fridge.

-It’s important to let these cookies cool to help retain their shape.  After removing them from the oven, just let them sit at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes before storing them in the fridge.

-Storing them in the fridge will help them solidify, and also, after a couple of hours in the fridge, this actually makes them taste better.
