How many cookies does this recipe make?

As with most cookie recipes it will really depend on how big or small you make the cookies before baking. You should be able to make about 2 dozen cookies!

If you make them much bigger or smaller they won’t bake properly so I usually suggest erring on the side of the smaller cookies to avoid them staying too mushy in the middle.
