I've tried this recipe a few times now, and I can never seem to get the cookies to turn out right. They're always either too dry or too soft.

Not bad, but not great either. The cookies were a bit dry for my taste.

My grandma used to make these cookies when I was a kid, and they always brought back fond memories. This recipe is spot-on, and now I can make them myself to share with my family.
