These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet, chewy, and salty — that perfect treat that satisfies all your cravings in just one bite — or four.
This recipe is a new family favorite and it's easy to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Warning, you may want to make a double batch — they don't last a day in my household!
Enjoy.
