I had high hopes when I saw these were only 44 cals and had originated in the fifties, but this turned out to be a confusing recipe, because A) These are not cookies, they're muffins/cupcakes. B) I cut the recipe in half because 72 cookies sounded so extreme, but I only came out with 12 muffins. Also, the sauce is pretty tart and the cupcakes a little spongy. (Bake them for about 20 minutes) Also, I noticed you forgot to say when to put the vanilla in. Having said all that, these are okay and I'm sure they'll get eaten. I bet you're mother in law has a better touch when making these...
