Love this recipe and so did my family and co-workers! It’s the perfect combo of sweet and salty. I baked half on a shiny silver cookie sheet and half on a nonstick dark cookie sheet, I would lower the temperature if using the nonstick dark sheet it browned up too much. This recipe is a keeper for sure!
