"Don't give up on this recipe! I made a test batch and produced rock-hard nuggets that were just awful, but promising. I read the reviwers' comments, made some adjustments and now have a pretty darn n..." See moreice cookie: bake at 350F, add 2 to 4 tablespoons more flour and use 2 eggs.

"It's been a while since I've had GOOD cookies, but these definitely qualified as such.

The flavor is great, and if you're a cookie dough fiend, the dough is fantastic. I used my small Pampered Chef cookie scoop and got 75 two bite cookies out of this recipe. They look great and they taste awesome."
