These are really very delicious cookies that everyone Loved!! I've made them several times and they always come out perfect. It's great the recipe makes so many too.
buellin420My family has been making cookies nearly identical to these for generations so I was excited to see a similar recipe to try. However, these did not turn out well. The batter was too dry making it difficult to form balls and making the cookies crack when baked. I will stick to my original recipe from now on. I chalk it up to a good effort and a lesson learned.
Wheedlevery good cookies and made enough to pass around
