These are awesome cookies - even better than the home-made sugar sifting, brown sugar, vanilla, etc. etc. dipping fork in sugar to make the criss cross makes it look just as fancy. Easy clean up too! try this recipe and you'll be amazed... we were :)

This is the recipe I have used for years. I make peanut butter blossoms from it. My family loves them. They don't even care to eat the blossoms made from the original blossom recipe.

Those of you giving this recipe 3 or 4 stars can't be following this recipe to a T. I have measured being greedy is out precisely 3 * in a row. Every single time even up to and beyond 12 minutes eat cookies never cook in the middle. They are always very gooey. in order for this recipe to work properly you must cook the cookies for closer to 14 or 15 minutes. I have made Certain every time that the oven was preheated to 350°F as well. And for the record these were tried in both Atlanta and New Hampshire. So altitude variable was not an issue.

This is an amazing recipe! I saw that I was out of baking soda and googled substitutions. This recipe came up and will now be a regular go to for our household. I agree that they are a little on the sweet side, but unlike other baking recipes, you can cut down on the sugar without messing up the whole recipe. So excited to have found this. Very easy and a good last minute go to when you have a sweet tooth. Oh and EXTREMELY inexpensive to make!

Very good but very sweet if you make them as per the recipe above. Next time I am going to add oatmeal and/or use less sugar.
