This recipe turns out well, and it's certainly easy to make especially when you're in a hurry. Because it is one bowl creation. I disagree with the order in which the ingredients are listed. Be sure to add the vanilla with the eggs and the sugar and the milk. I also make these cookies a bit different by adding fruit, usually cherries and almond extract along with the vanilla. Chocolate chips are nice with them too.

This is great and quick cookie recipe. Like the previous comment I also add a vanilla at the point when I'm adding eggs and milk. I also use butter instead of shortening. Some things that I often add to this recipe are raisins and allspice, cherries and coconut, or orange zest and chocolate chips.
