The best thing about this recipe is that it doesnt require a mixer or chilling like other cookie recipes.
Its super easy to make, and most of the ingredients you need are basic pantry staples.
Even if you have little to no baking experience, the cookies will still turn out perfect.
They are soft and chewy, just as you like your cookies.
