"READ ME >>> I'M HELPFUL. This recipe is fantastic, however, the "walnut sized" suggestion is not helpful as none of us know what that means specifically. To get this right first time make the dough ..." See moreballs just under 1/8th of a cup in size and keep them AT LEAST 2 inches apart in the oven, as these cookies like to spread out. Funny thing is, even if they spread out and blend into one another, they are still delicious once they've cooled."
