My kids absolutely love these cookies, as I mentioned above. They do not last long at all in my house.
I have also been known to take them to Christmas parties during the Holiday season too. If you want to add a bit more flavor and make them seem a bit fancier for a party, be sure to add a few sprinkles of sea salt to the top of the cookie, for more of a sweet salted caramel flavor.
Best part of these delicious cookies is the clean up. No small saucepan clean up like other recipes or gooey caramel to peel off of your kitchen counters. It’s also a perfect way to get the kids involved over the holidays. This particular recipe would be easy for the kids to make, honestly.
