  1. This is a tasty little cookie! They are a little on the sticky side when rolling. I used a 1 Tbsp sized cookie scoop which helped and got a full 5 dozen cookies. I found I had to let them sit on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes before removing to the bakers rack to cool or they'd break apart easily. Didn't at all if left awhile.
     
  2. Yum! These little guys are tasty. I was a little concerned b/c I only had fat free cream cheese on hand, but that doesn't appear to have hurt a thing! Given that I had to make that change I decided to health 'em up a bit and also used Smart Balance. They turned out great, and you are absolutely right they would be divine with coffee or tea. Thanks so much for posting--I will definitely pull this recipe out at Christmas if not before! Made for PAC Spring 08.
     
  3. These are delicious! Mine came out very flat, even after refrigerating them on the pan before baking, but they are still delicious! I may experiment by adding an egg and see if that helps with the lift, although I suspect that will take away some of the great chewiness in the texture. Great recipe!
     
  4. Made these tonight, super good, slightly undercooked at 12 min, but my oven is...challenging, too hot usually so I drop it about 10-15 degrees from recipes. I used GF flour also, may have changed the cook time need but I am still experimenting with baking with it.

  5. I found the cookies a little too messy to roll in balls so I put the cookie dough in a plastic bag with a small corner cut off. I squeezed the cookie dough in little blobs on the cookie sheet. They spread out perfectly as they baked. The cookies were a perfect combination of crisp, crunchy on the edges and chewy in the middle. I found the recipe as written a little bland so I added a little more spices. Hubby & son, on the other hand liked the earlier batches before I added more spices. Made for PAC, Spring 2008
