There are two types of people in this world: those that are a fan of green bean casserole, and those that are a hater. If you have never had green bean casserole, then you just gotta make this cookies because you will fall in love with this classic dish. It is best described as the ultimate holiday side dish.
I am in the former category. I love green bean casserole. The dish is lovely, and I so look forward to it every year.
If you are in the latter category, then you will not enjoy this cookies. But you can always substitute a nice chocolate chip cookie for the green bean cookies.
*Editors’ Note: Since writing this post a couple years ago, I’ve expanded this dessert to include 6 recipes: Green Bean Casserole Cookies, Raspberry Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Sugar Cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Cheesecake Stuffed Cookie Cups, and Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars.
