These cookies are very good, But, They wanted to spread out to much, The cresent shape really were flat after baking, I made the next ones into balls these baked better.I checked the recipe, I made it just like the recipe stated. Maybe someone knows why they flatened out,I chilled them over 2 hours & returned to refrig. between baking. I will try these again as they are very good.
