I am torn when it comes to how to rate these cookies. They were good, but not great. My kids (ages 5 and 1) LOVED them. I liked them. I baked them on a foil-lined (and sprayed) cookie sheet at 350 for 10 minutes. I added 1/2 tsp lemon juice to the batter after tasting the first few cookies, and that helped a lot. I think topping these with some glaze would give them 5 stars for me, but I was actually out of powdered sugar when I made these. One great thing about them is that they are super easy.

    Nobody in my family liked these at all. They smelled great but the flavor and texture was something to be desired. I ended up throwing away the dough as I only made two batches and everyone complained about them. I was so looking forward to a different cookie, too. Thanks anyways.

    Wow what a simple good cookie recipe! I made these for my son to take home with him tonight. I made them on a foil-lined slightly sprayed cookie sheet, and baked them in my air-convection oven at 350 degrees for 9 minutes. They are oh so rich and buttery, and so good! I made mine a little larger than a tsp so I got 28 cookies. This is a keeper Podabo, my son loved them..thanks so much for posting another winner...Kitten

    I loved this recipe. This really hit the spot. They were so easy to make and so moist. I did try some white icing on them and that really set them off. This is a keeper. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
