**** 4 stars for taste
**** 4 stars for "my kid" friendly
***** 5 stars for ease

These were pretty good and I got lots of compliments on them but I wouldn't say they were the best cookies I have ever made. My kids said my other recipe was better. They are just as easy as drop cookies can be so they aren't hard. They had kind of a "crispy" outside and a soft inside so that was nice but over all taste wasn't mind blowing.
