This recipe is allright upto the first 10 steps. Well, after these were baked for 10 minutes, when I opened the oven door, what I saw was that the cookies were floating in a pool of butter(the butter of the cookies itself), I did not grease the cookie sheet like you said. I was furious. Just closed the oven door, leaving the cookies inside. After 50 minutes when I opened it, lo and behold, I saw that the cookies were perfectly done! What a surprise! Then, I transferred them onto a plate and allowed to cool completely, after which, I have stored them in an airtight container to serve as n when desired. Thanks, its a tasty cookie, but these comments would help everyone trying this in future.
