This is not a good recipe. I made them last night and they were flat and hard! I researched it this morning and there are several comments on other sites that had similar comments. Maybe there are some modifications, but who has time to experiment??

Hmmmmmm...the cookies weren't too bad tasting. I think you have to be exact with measurements. Unfortunately, I wonder if the icing recipe was a last minute thought. It was grainy and odd tasting. It's not difficult to make icing so I don't think it's me. I think the icing recipe lacked substaintially.

Flat and hard....I wish! My cookies came out flat but they are super soft, chewy and STICKY! They stuck to the pan, they stick to eachother, and fall apart. They are like giant gobs of paste! I gave these a 3 star rating because aside from their glue like qualities - they are DELICIOUS!
