Decadent Cookie! Buffalo Chip Cookies! A Texas-sized kid-pleasing cookie! This recipe was given to me by a friend when I had my second baby. It's chock full of all the things kids love -- chocolate chips, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, Rice Krispies, and coconut flakes to name a few. To top it off, each cookie is made from 1/4 cup cookie dough. Now that's a Texas-sized cookie!
