I received this recipe at a Cake and Candy store when I signed up for a class. We made fall leaves and put them in a clay pot - they looked great! For best flavor results use pure Mexican vanilla the creme de la creme of vanillas. You will need about 6 dozen dowels, cut to approximately 6 inches (with some longer and some shorter) for cookie sticks.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Use real butter, not margarine, and high-quality chocolate chips.
Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or ingredients. If you do, the cookies may not turn out right.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature in the recipe is important. If you bake the cookies at a too high temperature, they will burn. If you bake them at a too low temperature, they will be underbaked.
Let the cookies cool completely before eating: This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Pot cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
