I was hoping someone had posted this recipe. I made these cookies the night this issue of Relish appeared in my paper because they looked so easy. And they were. I thought I had nuts, but I didn't, so I made them without, but I have macadamias in the cupboard now, waiting for the next batch. I omitted the salt. They were so, so, so good - you'd think with all this sugar that they'd be cloying, but they weren't. Just delicious. And did I mention easy? I did need to cook them for the full 19 minutes, but I wouldn't have wanted to do longer. I made 10 larger cookies instead of 15.
