Please be aware there is one mistake that should be obvious and one change that I made to this recipe. It states you need a half a cup of salt. That is the obvious mistake. The next amount stated for the salt is the correct one. Also, I used 1/2 a cup more flour than this recipe states. I tried using the amount given and the batter was as runny as cake batter. The cookies ran all over the place in the oven. They came out perfect with the extra flour.
