Would make this again.
I have made this cookie since the 70's. It is a family favorite and is so easy to make. I usually have to make two or three batches. They are the first to go. Santa's Whiskers is also another family favorite that I started making about the same time, they are delicious too.

Would not make this again.
I would not make these again. I don't know if I messed up the recipe but these bars were way to chewy. It almost had the texture of bad steak meat. I gave them to my dog and he wouldn't eat them.

Would make this again.
These were easy to make and even though I forgot to add the baking soda (LOL) they still tasted good! I would definitely try them again.
