Expert Tips

Be sure to use butter or margarine. Whipped products and low-fat spreads contain more water and air, making them unpredictable for baking.

I have never written a review before but this recipe compels me to do so. These are the best soft, cakey cookies I have ever tasted! I made them Saturday night for Mother's Day. I got about 5 or 6 dozen out of the recipe and they were about half gone by the next day! (My husband and I ate them.) All were gone by Sunday night. The family loved them!!! I made them just like the recipe and added vanilla to them. How wonderful! THANK YOU THIS EXCELLENT RECIPE!!
