  1. These cookies are so soft and buttery. One warning though, they're so soft and light tasting that you could easily eat 4-6 and not feel like you've over done it.
     
  2. These were about as easy as using a pre-made mix and tasted WAY better.
     
  3. soft yummy teh best when warm my whole family loves them
     
  4. These were probably the easiest cookies that I have ever made. They were soft, moist, and perfectly sweet. I cut down butter and sugar to 1 cup. As a result, flour went down to 2 cups and baking soda and baking powder were both decreased to 3/4 teaspoon. Maybe it's because each of my cookie dough was too big, they needed 11 minutes of baking time to turn golden brown. They turned out great! Will make again.
     
  5. I've used this recipe multiple times and it is amazing. The cookies are soft but not too gooey. I'm using this recipe right now and my dough was a bit dry but I put 1/4 cup of milk and it was moist. thank you creator :)
