These cookies are great! At first I thought that there was a mistake with the baking temperature and time, but tried it anyway. It made for THE PERFECT BAKED COOKIE. I'm going to bake all my cookies like this for now on! Thanks for posting! -
This is a wonderful recipe and I've made it three times since it was printed in the Dallas Morning News. I got 36 cookies and cut the time from 20 min. to 15.

I live in a wooded hillside area of Los Angeles where it feels like being out in the country. I grew up in Rhode Island, and came to LA after graduating from URI. I recently retired from my job as an environmental specialist. So now I have time to collect internet recipes. My hobbies & interests are aquatics, shell collecting, my cats, feeding stray cats, home improvement projects and cooking.
I love to travel and, years ago, lived in Mexico for several months. My favorite cookbooks are the ones written by Diana Kennedy; they are all great; and I have them all, some signed by her when I was enrolled in her cooking classes. I have a lot of cookbooks; some of my other fave authors and their books are: Madhur Jaffrey (especially World Vegetarian, World of East Vegetarian Cooking and A Taste of the Far East), Faye Levy, Martha Rose Shulman (especially Mediterranean Light, Provencal Light and Mexican Light) and Paula Wolfert.
