I have been trying to recreate the sugar coated cookies from the grocery store for awhile now……..this is it, but MUCH better! They are soft and chewy.
Some of you might know that I am the sister who loves chocolate, but I LOVE this recipe!!! Anyways this recipe is super easy and most people will have the ingredients on hand. You can roll these cookies in regular sugar, it doesn’t have to be colored. I did pink and red because valentine’s day in around the corner and thought they would look good.
