Simple and delicious! Not as flat as I imagined but who cares. I took suggestions and lowered the temp to 400F and placed the rack on the 2nd from top position. 7.5 minutes was perfect they were just about to burn at 8 minutes. Used a small cookie scoop. Rolled them into balls and dipped the whole thing in sugar. I skipped the water step. I flattened them slightly before baking. Next time I'll try rolling in cinnamon sugar. This recipe is a keeper! P.S. Use a parchment lined sheet. I wouldn't never bake anything on an unlined sheet unless you like scrubbing.
These are very much like what my husband's grandmother used to make. To keep the bottoms from browning too much we bake them on the third from the bottom rack instead of the middle one.
I cannot believe that more people have not tried and/or rated this recipe. I would give it ten stars if I could...it is so good!!!! I think I make them about every other week and every time I bring them somewhere I have SEVERAL people ask for the recipe. These will definitely be a favorite for anyone who tries in my opinion. Thanks for the recipe:-)
I'm so glad I found this recipe. It's like a sugar cookie. But it sooo soft and good! I had more than one person ask for the recipe.
This is the first recipe I ever got off of this site because it was easy and I was in 7th grade at the time I'm now graduating college and still making these
I have been looking for a light and crisp sugar cookie and this one is wonderful!
I love these cookies however I made a couple of changes. I used 2.5 tsp. of baking powder in place of the cream of tartar and baking soda. I also decreased the oven temperature to 350 degrees and baked the cookies for 12-15 mins. The result was a cookie that tasted a lot like a spritz cookie...YUM!!!!!
I bake a lot of cookies and this one is a winner. Very good and easy. I baked them at 400 degrees instead of 425.
We loved these simple sweet and crispy cookies. They are pretty yummy too!
I don't think the temperature/timing is correct for this recipe.
