Notes: 2016 Christmas was the first time I tried these cookie. I made two batches -- the second batch I added chopped nuts. I baked the cookies an extra 5 minutes or so to get a toasted flavor in the cookies. Then I dipped the bottom in a marshmellow flavored dipping chocolate. Yum....similar taste to roasted marshmellows.
