Got raves on these lovely "cakey" cookies. They stay soft & taste luscious. Recipe hint: 400F too high...try 350F. Also great idea to double batch! They disappear WAY too fast!!!
We tried these for the first time today and they were fast easy and very yummy. We skipped the icing and liked the Not too sweet taste. We may try icing them next time.They are so soft! 400F worked well for us. Left them for exactly 10 minutes.
Quick and Easy to make. NEEDS ICING though to make it just a bit sweeter!
Very good. Instead of icing them I dusted them with powdered sugar.
I made these with Splenda (without the icing and with extra chopped walnuts) for diabetics and they loved them. (So did the non-diabetics.) In place of buttermilk I used a soup spoon of vinegar and then added skim milk to 3/4 cup. I also didn't bother refrigerating the dough and reduced the temperature to 375 F and baked them for 8 minutes. This is definitely a keeper.
These tasted like brownies with the texture of of a light cake in a easy to eat cookie shape. I am fascinated by this. The flavor is mild just enough to satisfy a sweets/chocolate craving without being overwhelming. My family and I ate them alone or broken up with vanilla ice cream. I needed to bake these for 7 minutes at 375 degrees before I was happy with the texture but that is my oven's fault not the recipe.
These were wonderful!! Kind of like very moist brownie cookies. I left out the walnuts and frosted with chocolate buttercream. Just watch them closely while cooking... one batch went for maybe a minute or two longer and they were very dry.
Wow! I made these for my church and they were delicious. I didn't have any walnuts and not enough pecans so I used sliced almonds but I toasted them first. I mixed together a white icing and tinted it pink- so pretty!:) I loved how cakey these were.
Followed the recipe except i used butter as a substitute for the shortening. Then since i saw some people said it was a little less on the sweet side and should frost; instead i added in milk chocolate chips and marshmallows. Made bigger cookies (22 instead of 3 dozen) and 400 for 10 minutes. Just sweet enough soft so good.
