I honestly liked it, but that means I have to eat it fresh. After it cooled down it got all hard. Maybe it was the way I made it. I don't know.

I love this recipe because it uses butter instead of shortening. The cookies do flatten somewhat, but have a somewhat crunchy outside and a nice, soft inside. I had no problems at all with the dough being too soft - I was able to roll it in my hands with no problems and I did not even have to chill it first. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

They didn't look like the pic but they did turn out good. I put the batter in the freezer for 10 mins and baked for 10 mins. My cookies were crunchy but it wasn't a bad crunchy. They tasted great!

I doubled this recipe, but found it too soft to form firm balls & the globs I did manage to get & coat flattened out to large cookies on the sheet. What gives?
