This was a bland version of a sugar cookie. I think it would have been better with butter for the flavor. the texture was light an crisp.

Kind of like a sugar cookie with a slight maple taste. That is what it tasted like to me. Easy to prepare. Thanks Tonkcats. Bullwinkle.

I have to agree that the name of these cookies isn't appetizing, however I am so glad they are named what they are! I was looking for a cookie recipe that required shortening instead of butter and was trying to figure out how to do my search. Well, lo and behold Crisco cookies popped up and it was exactly what I needed! These cookies were very good. Light and soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. Delicious flavor and perfect with a glass of milk!

Very yummy -especially when they are hot and fresh out of the oven. But...I say you should change the name. Sounds like you are eating something very fattening. No one likes to think that when they are munching down on cookies! They are worth the calories, though!
