"At the downtown Chicago law firm where I work, we often bring in goodies for special occasions," informs Janis Gruca of Mokena, Illinois. "When co-workers hear I've baked these melt-in-your-mouth cookies, they make a special trip to my floor to sample them. Best of all, these crisp, buttery treats can be made in no time."

These are great cookies! I like to switch things up ar home and this cookie has a different taste than a normal chocolate chip cookie. It took me no time to whip up because I always have these ingredients at home. I did shorten the baking time a couple minutes though...Great with milk!!

My family and friends just love these cookies.

Cook just until the edges begin to brown.

They are a rich shortbread type cookie and unlike others, I found them to be very flavorful. I have made them many, many times.

I agree with the previous reviewer; these cookies had NO flavor. I was expecting something close to shortbread with chocolate chips. Here is another recipe that does not call for salt, and I believe it may be the undoing of this dough. Fortunately for me, my hubby will eat anything that resembles a cookie, otherwise, I would have completely wasted some fine ingredients.

These have NO flavor. I came online to double-check to see if my print version had missed an ingredient! I made ONE tray of them, and decided to try and salvage the rest of the dough by adding it to some peanut butter cookie dough. I would never make these again.

I love these little cookies!! The first time I made them the kids weren't too sure since they are a bit different from regular chocolate chippers but the 2nd go round they were a HIT! Thank you :)
