Hi, how many cookies does this recipe make?
Hi Kylie, this recipe makes quite a lot of cookies but this also depends on how thick or thin you make them. I make ours pretty thin and also divide the cookie dough batch into half and store some in the fridge or freezer to use later. Hope this helps 🙂
Amazing cookies thankyou all
Thank you for your comment Izzy. I am so glad the cookies turned out great! 🙂
