This recipe is for a batch of soft cookies and actually stays soft for several days if cooked right and stored in an airtight container. If you're looking for a crunchy, hard cookie, these are not it!
If you hate having to use extra dishes, even if it's the "right" way for mixing your dry ingredients together separately and then adding them to the wet, this recipe doesn't do that. Pretty much ever because I don't like to do extra dishes.
