Good cookie, easy to make and form the cookie but they required cooking for 14 minutes in my oven as at 9 they were still doughy. Bake time on this should be taken as a start time, not total time if you are a first time baker.

Loved the final outcome however I cannot stress the importance of not doubling the baking soda in this recipe especially not twice! I was making two cakes and doubling everything as I went along and accidentally added the baking soda doubled TWICE! We have now nicknamed this cake the Flaming Spice Cake since the entire house was filled with smoke after the cake spilled over the sides of the pan and landed on the burner in the oven. Cake is wonderfully moist and turned out of the pans perfectly even after the disaster. Next time I plan on using the correct amount of baking soda and adding chopped raisins as this cake has the proper taste and texture for old fashioned Spanish Bar Cake. I have other cake recipes and have managed to get the icing right but this cake has the right texture and taste. We loved it and it is all gone. We only baked it yesterday afternoon!!!!
