These are fantastic. I half the recipe, put them by tablespoon onto cookie sheets, roll them into balls, then press them down with a fork to flatten them. They bake for 8 min and make about 30 cookies. Again fantastic.

After making the dough, I used just enough dough to cut out 4 cookies so I can't tell you how many it makes. The texture was just a tad crumbly for our preference but these are delicious! Thanks for posting!
