Hi Angela,

These look great. Could you tell me, are these soft or crispy? I am especially partial to soft cookies!

Our favorite Choc-Chip recipe is your recipe a couple posts back! I make a double recipe and freeze 12-20 balls of cookie dough in freezer bags. This really satisfies our cookie cravings!

Hope all is well at the farm!

Hey Danielle! I emailed Melissa and here's what she wrote:
The cookies should be thin and crispy. As you know, they do come out of the oven fairly soft, especially if you do not roll them out thin enough like I did which added to the softness. :)
Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment! I'm so glad you guys can use the choc chip recipe!! I've frozen dough in logs to cut before, but never as balls. I will be trying it...:)
