  • “While I thought these were a bit sweet for my palate, my 7 year old loves them and declared them “even better than granma’s” (extremely high accolade!).Ours are quite crisp – and I’ll spread them further apart next time as they spread quite a bit. Thanks for a hit recipe!”

  • “These are wonderful!Nice and soft and so cute!The only thing I think I’d change is more vanilla, and maybe having the recipe with cups rather than grams.Thanks for an amazing recipe!”
