I spent 3 hours on these cookies and when I put them in the oven, they became flat pancakes and burnt on the bottom. I then added the 1/2 cup flour you said to add, put them in the oven, and they still flat. I then decided to not make them as cookies and to bake it as a loaf to get something good out of this large amount of batter. I am disappointed that I will not have cookies to give as Christmas presents, just one singular loaf that will give me a measely amount of 12 slices if I'm lucky. The only good thing to come out of this is that I will forever use Betty Crocker's recipes from a cookbook because despite her lack of variety which made me turn to the internet in the first place, I can still count on her to give me accurate recipes that will leave me with a sense of accomplishment and the correct form of baked goods I asked for. So sad to get this kind of recipe from a respected cooking group like yourselves.
yes really loved these cookies , and my grandkids too!!!
We love these cookies!! Every single one gets eaten in this house!! I did change the recipe from buttermilk to sour milk, milk with a little bit of vinegar in it!
