What do you mean this "Serves 60"? It only makes 60 cookies! In my book, that means more like "Serves 5"! Ha! Ha! These look delicious. I'll have to try them soon.

Hi Diane, you are a woman after our own hearts!! Really....who can walk away after one cookie! ;) They are delicious. Elyse brought them to a family party last week after we blessed her baby at church. They didn't last long!

Kianna says:
Does anyone know how to make this recipe a lot smaller? lol. or would I just half all the ingredients.
-
Cyd says:
You can totally cut this recipe in half for a smaller amount.

Diane says:
I wonder if I can make these with gluten free flour?
-
Cyd says:
Hi Diane, we haven't use gluten free flour in this recipe. But if you substitute it in most cookies it should work in these too.

Heather M says:
Can you freeze the dough? either whole or in dropped out form?
-
Cyd says:
This dough should freeze just fine. The cookies freeze well too in an airtight container after baking.

Kira Pond says:
Where can you find the almond joy pieces? I want to make these because almond joys are my favorite, but can't find the candy anywhere.

Cyd says:
Hi Kira, we are having a hard time finding them too. Looks like Amazon and CVS Pharmacy has them.
