These cookies taste best fresh! What cookie doesn't? When they have been in a container for a day they go chewy and are like the store bought cookies dad craves.

When I had the cookies for a snack they tasted best with a drink like milk to wash them down. Also, I read the reviews about this recipe on its web site, and all of them talked about not skipping that extra egg yolk and making sure to let them sit in the fridge for a while to chill and combine better before baking.
