No baking required, so these are a fast and easy sugar fix! Just make sure the baking sheets fit in your fridge; otherwise, make some room and lay the sheets of waxed paper directly on the fridge shelf. These are also great to make with kids because there’s no hot stuff to fear. We like to layer these with Vanilla or Chocolate Ice Cream (pages 136 and 137), but Caramel (page 139) is pretty awesome too. The cookies will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.
