My son Josiah enjoys making treats. This recipe is great for kids because it has two manageable time blocks-mixing and chilling the dough, then cutting out and baking the cookies.-Josiah Hildenbrand, San Leandro, California

These cookies are the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate.

I made these cookies a little healthier by using whole wheat flour and honey instead of sugar. They were still delicious and satisfying.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out just as good as the original recipe!

These cookies were a little too crispy for my taste, but they still had a good flavor. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes less next time.

OMG, these cookies are amazing! The sugar coating gives them such a nice crunch and the inside is soft and chewy. I'm already planning on making them again for my next party.
