these are really great but they turned out rather crumbly. i've since edited the recipe slightly and posted step-by-step instructions as well as pictures to guide each step of the way.. do visit to view the updated recipe. =) Happy holidays Everyone!
I guess I was expecting this to taste like a Famous Amos cookie. No where even close to it. It's an ok cookie kind of blah for me.It was to cakey for a proper choc. chip cookie. It tastes absolutely nothing like a Famous Amos.
This is an awesome recipe. They really do taste like Famous Amos cookies. It's also a kid-friendly recipe. My 8 year old had no problem/or questions while making this recipe. Good thing it makes a large batch.
I hate that I didn't read the reviews first. This is not the Famous Amos cookie recipe at all. Also the fact that they are "light in color" is not typical of a Famous Amos cookie. That should have been a giveaway. The cookies are a little too crumbly the original Famous Amos recipe was a cookie that was cake-like moist but had a firmness to it. Will not make them again.
I have made this cookies many many times for my family and they just love it especially with the kids. But I cut down on the sugar and so I ommit the white sugar.We pefer the cookies to be cruncy so I bake it for any extra 1o mins and it turn out perfect.
Not only have I never had a Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie before I also didn t care whether this recipe produced a cookie that tasted like one or not. Truth be told I always give a second glance to cookie recipes with cream of tartar and oil (and generally confectioners sugar is in there too) because I like the texture of the cookies made with those ingredients. These cookies turned out just how I expected. They re light and crispy on the edges soft in the middle and maybe just a little greasier (I wish there was a better way of describing that characteristic but I have word block right now). They re not dry or crumbly let s put it that way. I used Nestle Buncha Crunch (little nuggets of Nestle Crunch bars) not because I thought they d be better than chocolate chips and walnuts but only because I had them to use. I love these cookies. I wouldn t say they re better than others I ve tried because they re different than some of my other favorites. If this indeed is what Famous Amos cookies taste like and if I was so inclined to buy cookies rather than making them I d buy these.:) Addendum: Hubs who is notoriously stingy with 5-star ratings rated these as such without even prompting him for an opinion. Because they're different he said.
I just made these and my family loved them. I Didnt change a thing. This is a keeper; I have been looking for a recipe that is like the ones that I make at school and these are it. Thanks for the recipe. =) =)
So easy & tastes just like the real thing! I found that it takes about 15 minutes per batch not 8-12 as in the recipe.
i wanted to omit the white sugar but it wasnt sweet enough. so i added the white sugar at the end. the cookie dough became to dry and crumbly so I added some milk and honey. turned out pretty close to famous amos cookies:)
