These are delicious! Mine came out very flat, even after refrigerating them on the pan before baking, but they are still delicious! I may experiment by adding an egg and see if that helps with the lift, although I suspect that will take away some of the great chewiness in the texture. Great recipe!

Made these tonight, super good, slightly undercooked at 12 min, but my oven is...challenging, too hot usually so I drop it about 10-15 degrees from recipes. I used GF flour also, may have changed the cook time need but I am still experimenting with baking with it.

This is a tasty little cookie! They are a little on the sticky side when rolling. I used a 1 Tbsp sized cookie scoop which helped and got a full 5 dozen cookies. I found I had to let them sit on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes before removing to the bakers rack to cool or they'd break apart easily. Didn't at all if left awhile.
