Chewy, buttery, spicy and sweet. This recipe came from Betty Crocker and Parade.com. We loved it. Please note that you need to let the dough chill for two hours before baking so plan ahead. Enjoy!
Note: According to Betty Crocker it makes 7 dozen. I got about 4 dozen so I must have used a bigger scoop than they did.
