This cookie created conflict. They were so good I wanted to share them and made up a plate for my husband to take to his parent's house. But they were so good he kept insisting I only put a few on the plate and made it clear that he would not be held responsible if they were gone before his family got some. Just fantastic. Read More

These were good! My first batch was a little flat so I added a touch more flour and that did the trick. I let each batch cool for 5 minutes before moving to serving tray and had no problems with cookies falling apart. Read More

I make cookies constantly and have a huge recipe collection of which my husband and son have all tried through my persistence. My son has become so fussy he won't eat cookies anymore but for some reason when I sent them to his College he and the kids raved about them and asked for them again (and these were one kind out of 16 kinds that I have sent through the months). I will be making this recipe often in the future now that I have found a favorite. Thank you. Read More

This is a really nice mocha cookie where you can taste the coffee. I used unsalted butter and found the salt in the cookie noticeable. If I was using salted butter I would cut back on the amount of salt called for. Read More

Really good and really easy to make. I halved the recipe but still used a whole egg and these came out cracked on the top like a gingersnap but with a soft and chewy/flakey texture. Kind of hard to explain but really easy to eat! Read More
