I make these larger and get about 100 small cookies. I use this recipe for lots of different flavors - vanilla pudding and chocolate chips, vanilla, coconut and mini chocolate chips, chocolate pudding and peanut butter chips, coconut pudding and coconut. Yhey are all really good. I just finished baking six batches of these cookies for a fundraising event.

Wonderful and delicious and easy to make. Followed the recipe exactly except made them slightly larger then directed so added a minute or two on to the baking time. Made these for St. Patrick's Day yesterday and received lots of compliments...

I made the Blarney Stone's this past St. Patrick's Day without any alterations to the original recipe, and it was such a huge success! It didn't make as many stones as it said, but I probably made them larger than suggested. I'm using this recipe for a Christmas party and plan on using red and green dye for the holiday theme. Thanks for sharing such a yummy, fun and versatile recipe!
