Daniel didn't want a cake for his birthday. He wanted a cookie. A big, huge cookie! So, we made these. Daniel has continued the tradition and still requests a birthday "cook", cinnamon rolls, or chocolate pie for his birthday. I think he is caked out after all the birthdays and appreciates something different. These are very good and they come together quickly since you can cook all the cookie dough at one time instead of waiting on multiple batches of cookies.
Love Always,
Mommy
