So easy and amazingly good! My batter was a little soft but after 5 minutes in the freezer it worked out perfect.

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.
