This is a great recipe! I made it for my family and everyone went on and on about how good these cookies are. Even my 1 yr old son liked them! Definite keeper!

Excellent cookie. I baked as directed except mine took 9 minutes to bake. The first batch I left on 5 minutes on the cookie sheet to cool and they stuck a bit so I removed them after 3 minutes for remaining cookies. Very nice cookie. Thanks ratherbeswimmin'.
