I agree with the first lady, I just made these yesterday & had the same results. The batter is not right & needs adjusting. Next time I will try increasing the flour. I got only 24 tiny cookies with the batter the way the recipe states which would only make 12 sandwich cookies. The taste is fine but not the measurements. I did expect more from a Taste of Home recipe; kind of disappointed.

Recipe is wrong. Maybe it should have been 2, 3, or even 4 cups of flour. As it stands the batter this recipe makes is the consistency of a runny brownie batter.
