These were really good! My family ate them all in one day. Thanks for sharing this recipe. -
This recipe did not turn out at all. My first batch essentially was a melted pool of butter when I removed from the oven... I added an additional cup of flour to see if the cookie would hold and it did a bit more. Nonetheless, the cookie was FAR too buttery for me. The cookie will not hold unless you double the flour.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I absolutely love to bake. I try new recipes all the time. <br /> <br />I live in Michigan & enjoy it in the Spring, Summer, & Fall. I'm not a fan of the Winter (after New Year's I'm ready for Spring). <br /> <br />I love being outside in the warmer months (hiking, walking, camping). I also like movies, football and reading a good book. <br /> <br />My favorite cookbook is Better Homes and Gardens - I've had it for years and use it a lot (some pages are so dirty you can hardly read them and the book is falling apart). <br /> <br />I try to eat healthy and stay in shape but just like everyone I have my slip-ups & sweets are my weakness.</p>
