"These cookies are too perfect to be true! They are so soft when bitten into and chewy when you are indulging it. Be sure to follow step by step though as one mistake (not chilling dough or too heaping of a measurement) could ruin the cookie. Hope you enjoy just as our family does!"

This are the worse cookies ever, who ever put this recipe on the site left out an ingredient, which is sugar, my mistake was not to read the reviews before I made them. I believe the site should remove the recipe.

These cookies are absolutely horrible. I wish I would have read the other review before I made them. I have to throw them all away! This recipe needs to be pulled because there is something wrong with it.

This recipe has to be a joke! They turned out to be more like biscuits with cinnamon sugar. I don't see anywhere in the recipe or directions any other sugar besides the small amt to be used for the coating. I have NEVER seen a cookie recipe that doesn't use some sort of sugar in the main ingredients. My poor husband was so excited to try and make these himself and then was severely disappointed at the outcomes. Told him he should have used MY recipe.

I added 2 teaspoons vanilla, subbed 2 teaspoons baking powder instead of baking soda, took out the cream of tartar, and scooped them without chilling and they came out delicious.
