Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I usually double this recipe when I make them. These are crunchy cookies and I like them that way, but I've learned that you can make them a little softer by changing the sugar ratio to more brown sugar than white.
You can also leave as is and place the cookies in a Tupperware bowl with a lid and put 1-2 pieces of bread in it and let sit overnight. In the morning the cookies will be soft and the bread will be hard.
