I made these cookies for the second time recently, and made a few changes. I used about 2 3/4 cups flour, just 1 cup of brown sugar, and for the eggs (I didn't have any) I used 1/2 cup oil. I used an eletric mixer, which made the texture quite delicate and almost shortbread-y! My mom said they were the best cookies she's ever had :D They turned out soft and chewy and had a nice round shape! next time I'll take photos. thanks for the great recipe!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
