I haven't tried the recipe yet. But I have noticed there is no Vanilla in the recipe. with that amount of flour I would think the Vanilla would be one of the ingredients. Also the butter seems a little light. Slightly less flour?

Sorry but I didn't care for these at all. Followed directions as written but they turned out bland and tasteless. They were not the rich crisp cookie I expected.
