  1. As with all of your recipes, these were excellent! I added a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter as well as a splash of almond flavoring. My DH doesn't like coconut and nuts, so I left those out and put in about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips instead. I mixed the cream with a bit of sugar and splash of vanilla and dipped my fingers in that to flatten the cookies. I cooked them for 7 minutes on the bottom rack and 7 and a half to 8 minutes on the top and they were perfect. Light and airy. Fabulous!

  3. These were 5* by both hubby and I. I used a tsp of Contreau instead of vanilla in step 3.You forgot to add it in the directions. (I've had a bottle of that stuff for 10 years and trying to find a way to use it up).I thought I would get a more orange flavor but it didn't make any difference, I could just as well have put in vanilla. I flattened to about 1/2 in. and made sure I had exactly 24 cookies and baked for 17 min. The came out just right, about 2 1/2 inches in size.
