This is a double recipe. Mabe I put too little batter on my press, I got 108 cookies. Very easy to make. Everyone loved them. I will make this again!

If you want a crispy cookie do not use butter, you must use vegetable oil. The butter will make the cookie too soft, much better with oil.

I only gave it 4 star, because my recipe adds melted semi sweet chocolate. Stirred with enough water to cover chips. Add a cup of sugar and vanilla. Cook over low heat stirring constantly. Until a drop of chocolate doesn't drip when you tilt the plate. I spoon a layer between a cookie. Add a a top cookie and powder sugar the batch. Store in air tight container with a piece of bread to stay soft. They are amazing!

Love this recipe. I use butter and mine still come out crispy but my new iron seems to make them a little thicker than my old iron.
