This was perfect! I just registered for an account for the sole purpose of rating this recipe. I am a HORRIBLE cook.. I am always getting recipes wrong and this was no exception, but they still turned out AMAZING. I used butter and splenda. I accidently mixed all the dry ingredients (sugars etc.) in one bowl and creamed the butter alone by mistake. Adding all the dry ingredients didn't make a diff. thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. These are fool proof =D *caution: as previous posts say they do spread out quite a bit more than expected.

    This recipe was fantastic. I followed it exactly and they came out perfectly, chewy and not cake like at all. The cookies did spread a lot more while baking than I expected them to. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future.

    We loved these and had no problems at all. I used two sticks of butter, and upped the flour 1/2 cup. They were buttery, and yummy! Thanks!
