Cindy! Good point. And thanks for the suggestion! I couldn’t agree more.

Sounds and looks delicious! Another way to cut down on time for the sake of ‘Mom It Down’ is to use parchment paper on the cookie sheet – it cuts the clean up time by a lot! I like to cook, bake, etc but don’t like the clean-up process – can you tell? :-)

I just made these. There are not adequate words to describe how wonderful my house smells and how YUMMY these cookies are!!

Marshall doesn’t come home until tomorrow afternoon. There may not be any left by the time he gets here…. :-)

Thanks so much for sharing these recipes!

I have a box of that Egg Replacer I think – I’ve only used it in cornbread so far (worked great in that) – might have to do some baking! :)

That is my problem, too — if the cookies are there, I will eat them all!

I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I learned it from a friend. She starts all of her holiday baking way early and keeps several kinds of dough in the freezer. Then, whenever she goes to a party, she’s 10 minutes away from a cookie platter.

Thanks for this recipe! I made them this afternoon after what had to be the longest day EVER–trapped indoors b/c of rain with two little stir crazy boys. These were so delicious and a definite mood lifter!

Tara! What a great idea! Especially since I can’t eat all these myself. Well, I can, but shouldn’t. :]

I like to freeze cookie dough balls on the cookie sheet. After they’re frozen, I drop the individual balls into a plastic bag and store it in the freezer. Then, whenever I need a fresh-baked cookie, I open the freezer, place a few frozen cookie balls on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes. Yum!

I was thinking of doing cupcakes next week. You just made it a definite. I am not sure if they are that great. I’ll have to ask my friend, Missy. I made her the recipe I use for her bday this year.

Cupcakes are probably my favorite thing on earth.

I’m definitely going to try these! Off the topic (sort of), but do you have a great cupcake recipe? I’ve been trying 3 different recipes and no success – then again, I do live at high altitude so I bet it has something to do with that. Still, if you have a great recipe, please, can you include it in ‘mom it down’?

I make these all the time. It’s not the same recipe, but I LOVE them. If I’m having a crappy day, I make a batch of these cookies and stand in front of my stove and munch on them as they come out of the oven. It helps.

Kelly: When Toby Joe was vegan, I used egg substitute ALL the time and had great results. (It was the powder form. Came in a box. I will dig up the name if you’re not sure what I’m talking about.) While I haven’t used it for this particular recipe, I can’t see there’d be any problem whatsoever.

I used to make cookies using egg substitute as well as muffins and you could never tell the difference!

As a matter of fact, I bet these could be made entirely vegan. Grab some of that canola spread (I think that’s the vegan butter we buy) and some egg replacement and it’s vegan! (Although, I think the white chips may have some milk powder in them. Not sure. But just leave them out and get carob chips or dark chocolate sans milk.)

Ever try with some sort of egg substitute? Our dearest is allergic to eggs… (and dairy). I have butter & choc chips I can use that meet her allergic needs, but not sure how the egg replacer I have would work… hmmm…. they sound delicious!
