Reviews
My cookies did not spread out the way the picture shows - it stayed in as "dropped". Still good, just not as nicely frosted as the picture.
These are requested by my kids every Christmas. One year I ran out of vanilla for the frosting and added a couple drops of maple extract. They were even more fabulous that way. Bottom line is that either way they are delicious.
these are easy to make and taste great
These were wonderful and so nice and soft just the way we like them.. The only problem, which really wasn't a problem, was that they came out small and puffy. I used the cookie scoop so next time I will just make them bigger :-) Everyone loved them and I know I will make them again. Yummy!!!
my mother used to make these for me! I'm not a huge nut fan, but when put in cookies- u can't go wrong!
Delicious! Mouthwatering! Not so easy, but totally worth the effort!
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!! Highly recommend. I have made these many times, for friends, relatives and bake sales. Everyone LOVES them!!
These are awesome! I made this for a cookie exchange at work and everyone loved them!!! Very soft with just the right mix of salty and sweet!
