Hi, these look amazing! Do they come out soft or crunchy? I usually prefer a softer cookie, which is why I’m asking. Thanks!,

Hello, I made these in the past and they turned out very well, using the recipe as is. I’ll be making them this Christmas too for cookie platters. Thank you for the recipe!
