Would not make this again.
Will not make again. Cookies tasted like oil, and not at all like any type of cookie I have ever had. two stars

Would make this again.
These cookies are delicious. I doubled the recipe and yielded 54 cookies. I took them to a holiday cookie exchange and the only issue with them was that they weren't very attractive looking. I also added white choc chips & craisins which was festive. Anybody have a tip on how to make them look nicer? five stars

This is a great basic recipe. I added white chocolate and cranberry for an extra special treat. five stars

These cookies are GREAT!!! Took them to a cookie exchange last Christmas and they were the hit of the day... I've been asked to bring them again this year. (Don't overbake them and they won't get too hard.) They are really easy to make and taste delicious! Sometimes simple is better... five stars
