dushi.m13@yahoo.comThese cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky to work with and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. They also didn't taste very good. I would not recommend this recipe.

manthosempho73@aol.comThese cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The dough was easy to work with and the cookies turned out beautifully. I think I would try using less sugar next time.
