Interesting recipe, although I found it a little frustrating at times. If I was to make it again I'm sure it would go much smoother and result in a better looking cookie....taste wise they're great as-is altho some vanilla would have been nice. I didn't manage to get 30 cookies from the batch, and that was mistake #1 on my part - you really need to get them small and then spread out very thin...which I found tricky to do. And when you say cool on the foil, you really mean cool...in fact, I found throwing them in the fridge for a few minutes really helped to be able to peel from the foil. The batter certainly couldn't be much easier, so I'm sure I'll give these another try around holiday time. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT6.
