I don't see any issue between the ingredients and the instructions. Mine came out a little spread so I added a tablespoon of flour and they were great!

This cookie was spread too much and the batter was too runny and could not be pressed down as directed. The instructions in the cookbook itself are correct, but here they are wrong.

kind of confusing: ingredients list baking powder, but directions say to add baking soda. Which one is correct? Sharon

Re: Jelly-Topped Sugar Cookies

So what are the ingredients. Does the vanilla and lemon extract still belong. I want to make these cookies but I want them to come out the correct way.

It does seem that a recipe for ginger cookies got mixed up in this recipe. Easy enough to just leave out the goofy ingredients. ... ginger, cinnamon and cloves.

The list of ingredients and the ingredients in the directions do not match - causes confusion in cooking.
