LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! Delicious cake without a hint of that came-from-a-box flavor. I added 2 t. of orange extract, used a butter cake mix and vanilla pudding. I made it in two 9 inch layers (24 minutes at 350)and frosted it with cream cheese/whipped cream frosting from this site adding 2 t. of orange extract and about 1T of orange zest. It is out of this world! YUM and thanks for a truly wonderful super easy recipe!

Perhaps it was the unsalted butter, but these cookies did not work out for me. They were flatter than pancakes despite my very best efforts at following the directions precisely in my VERY OWN quest for the perfect chocolate cookie. I was so hopeful I was practically chanting Felix's name as I spooned them onto my parchment paper lined pan. (Was it the parchment paper?: ) At the end of the evening, I had a whole lot of cookies to show for my efforts, but not one of them was the perfect cookie that was promised. I still honor Felix for his efforts to tinker with his recipe in search of perfection even if our stars (and measuring cups) didn't align.

If I could give this recipe more than five stars, I probably would. Perfect texture, nice combination of sweetness, SUPER YUMO! Only change I made was to decrease almond extract to 1/2 t. and bake on parchment paper for a snappy clean up. This recipe is also a perfect base for different combinations. I used cherries and toasted sliced almonds. You could use anything. LOVED THIS RECIPE!
