I like to keep some of this dough in the freezer at all times since it's so handy to slice, bake and serve at a moment's notice. These wholesome cookies are super with a cup of coffee - in fact, we occasionally grab a few for breakfast when we're in a hurry. -Kathi Peters, Chilliwack, British Columbia

Easy to make, tasty. I didn't refrigerate them though, I just shaped them into cookies and immediately backed them. Added a pecan in the middle too. They turned out well
