I don't know why some people are acting as if this recipe so is troublesome. These cookies were absolutely delicious and were easy to make! Yes, the submitter forgot to include the vanilla, but we all make mistakes. Just add the vanilla when you beat the eggs, butter, and sugar together. It isn't rocket science, people. I have made these twice now, and they were great both times. They are a new favorite treat in our house.

There are some grammar and spelling errors which confused me. You also mentioned vanilla extract in the ingredient list but didn't mention when to put it in the directions. That is an inconvenience for novice bakers. My cookies didn't come out too great since I might not have mixed in the vanilla well because I only realized it was needed after the dough was formed

Pretty good cookie. Add mini m&m's makes them even better. Easy & quick.
