This recipe was taken from The New Good Housekeeping Cookbook Hearst 1986. Their recipe calls for 1 cup of butter, no margarine. This is my sister's favorite cookie, I've made it for over 30 yrs. I got the cookbook as a Christmas present in 1989 from my former MIL. If you can find a copy of it, I do recommend it. It has great recipes and information for new home cooks. My tip on this cookie is to bake it on a shiny baking sheet on parchment paper until barely tinted light brown on the edges. This cookie isn't supposed to be dark brown like a chocolate chip cookie. I'm giving 4 stars because it's definitely better with the full cup of butter than the mix of butter and margarine.

This one is definitely a 5 star cookie with my family. My sister absolutely loves them. I lost the recipe a few years ago when one of my children ruined my cookbook and am so happy to have found it again. Out of the hundreds of cookies I've made over the years this is one of the easiest and best tasting ones.

<p>I enjoyed many years as a stay at home Mom, whipping up all sorts of large meals and baking of all kinds. Time does not permit many hours in the kitchen anymore, but I still like to entertain when possible and I am always searching for the latest greatest new recipe to add to my tried and true collection.</p>
