These cookies are very moist and flavorful. Everyone loved them and several people asked for the recipe. Because they are very cake-like, I would recommend testing them for doneness with a toothpick. The first batch out of the oven turned kind of gummy as they cooled. I ended up baking them for about 11 minutes from then on. They were so much like a cake that I decided to add some Recipe #79392. It complimented them really well. Thanks for sharing!
