    These cookies are a tasty treat with coffee or tea. Not too sweet. After adding the flour mixture the dough would not pull together so I added 2 Tbs of sour cream which worked beautifully. I rolled the dough into a log rolled the log in colored sprinkles wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled for - Read more ...

    This was a BIG mistake!!! Why? Because I'm ADDICTED to this recipe! The first time I made it I almost ate the dough before baking until I discovered how good the finished cookies are. Now I can't stop playing around with the basic recipe. I've made several variations: Chocolate laced plain (w/out chocolate) Pecan sandies - Read more ...

    I made these with butterscotch chips instead of chocolate and put the whole cup in the dough. Absolutely delicious!

    These were pretty good...I think that my family prefers a softer cookie so I don't know that I would make these again but for those who like a crisp cookie this is a great recipe. I do think that if I made these again I would cook them for less time than 25 minutes.

    Very easy to make and taste great but the dough is a bit on the dry side.
