Mrs Higgins Replica

Found this recipe online - very quick search I must say! Everyone loves Mrs Higgins cookies!!! It tastes just like Mrs Higgins cookies (ate one fresh from the oven 10 mins ago)... you can change the recipe to suit your favourite :) e.g. white choc + macadamia instead of just choc chips YUM

I halved (as below) the original recipe to try it first... Removed the salt because I used salted butter... And reduced the sugar...

It's very quick to make, everything you have in your standard pantry... so make it now!
