I made these this morning after seeing that thread about your most recently posted recipes. Awesome! Just had one, and I know they're going to be gone FAST, once the family gets home. These will be part of my (very)small collection of cookies - anybody who knows me knows I do not bake much. Thanks - everyone try these!

So glad I tried this recipe...they were incredible!!! The only change I made to the recipe was the way I baked the dough. After lining the cookie sheet with parchment paper I spread the dough over the entire baking pan as if making one large cookie. After baking I allowed the cookie to cool a few minutes and then used a 4" heart shaped cookie cutter to shape each cookie. After cooling for another 5 minutes I removed each heart shaped cookie to a cooling rack. When cool, I decorated each heart and gave them out on Valentines Day. This recipe has made it into our "Family Favorites" recipe book!! Thanks!

These are very good cookies and after a few tweaks I was able to get them to where we like them. (I always make a recipe as written the first time and that is what I rate on. I have heard so much about this recipe over the years being a long time ToH reader that was not sure what to expect.) On the second go round I doubled the batch and added 1 cup of shortening to the one cup of butter and doubled the rest of the ingredients.The shortening created a chewy cookie which is more to my families liking. Additionally I made the cookies larger (about 1.5 TBL of dough by scoop) and let them bake exactly 13 minutes in my 350 oven. They finished on the cookie sheets for 5 additional minutes and then were removed to wire racks to cook completely. They were amazing. Thanks for sharing.
