Anyway, I made them as well and the long chill time is frustrating and I'm not sure about the difference it makes.

I've done the long chill several times - not on purpose - and they always turn out not so good.<br /><br />It's not you it's the bad advice article. Probably will never publish again.<br /><br />Also, I cannot make no-bake cookies to save my life. Don't know why... but they are always a mess.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097588489273717662noreply@blogger.com
