This cookie is delicious! It's not 2 sweet either. What I did is I used a medium size scooper for the dough and flattened them down to 2 inches. I found out that if I don't flatten them then I wouldn't get a chewy cookie. I baked them for 8 minutes and cooled them for 2 minutes then transferred to wire rack.

I will be the first to say I am a lousy baker. I will also say that this recipe is the only one that I have that turns out correct everytime. It is thick, chewy and a wonderful buttery flavor. I get demands for it. Found mine on the N.M. site under "THE REAL N.M. Cookie"
