So this cookie was a popular choice at a recent meeting I attended. There were lots of “ooo’s” and ahh’s”…and of course I said “but they are so easy to make”!
Apparently, that was “easy for me to say”.
They actually are incredibly easy to make…and incredibly fudgy!
Eat them warm out of the oven or fill them with a creamy marshmallowy filling (they will be like giant woopie pies!)
