A Note from Feedfeed
Cookies are a comfort food for one and all! This cookie recipe is incredibly adaptable with what you have in your pantry! No chocolate chips? Okay, no problem. You can use pretzles, coconut flakes, dried fruit, nuts, or whatever else you find in your pantry raid! What about vanilla and brown sugar? Use a splash of burbon and replace with any kind of sugar you do have! The recipe makes 4 dozen cookies, and this dough keeps in the freezer well and bakes from frozen the same way. Once the balls of dough are chilled, transfer to bags or plastic containers and freeze up to 2 months. Bake off as needed so you always have fresh cookies!
