I also was wondering if the amount of flour was a typo. I used a ice cream scooper to put the cookies on the cookie sheet and still got a large amount of cookies. I think the recipe would be good for Valentines Day also, the cookies come out with a pinkish color. But the cookies did not taste that sweet.

I was a little skepitcal about the amount of flour used, but I can honestly say these were very good. The batter will be very heavy. I used a mellonballer to scoop and got twice as many cookies. Thanks for the recipe.
