Used butter flavored shortening, added another half cup flour and a pinch more soda. Nice cookie but hate to give 5 stars with so much modifications.

These cookies turned out flat. The cookies tasted good but not worth the effort to make them and was a waste of time.

They are really good cookies really really good! Real easy to make, and make sure that you use the right amount of flour or else they do not turn out. I messed up and the baked flat! I most definitively make again!

I made 18 dozen of these cookies to give away at Christmas and they are easy and delicious. Highly recommend these. The texture is great and they are plump, not flat cookies. Super recipe and a definite keeper.
