Notes

This is a large recipe and you will need to bake several baking sheets of cookies . If you have only one baking sheet make sure it is completely cool before adding the dough for the next batch . I have two trays I alternate . 
This recipe can easily be cut in half . 
All nutritional info is a calculation and can greatly differ with different products and size of cookies .
