I have to admit I was underwhelmed after all the glowing reviews. These are ok, but I was expecting a knock your socks off cookie. I followed the directions to a T. I'll keep looking.

In fairness, I made a few minor adjustments based on what I had on hand and some of the suggestions read here so this is more a commentary on my experience and not on Carla's submission. Her's could very well be better... We really enjoyed them as I made them however. Here are my modifications. I used butter instead of shortening. 3/4 cup Whole Wheat pastry flour (to TRY to make it a little better for us) and 1 cup regular flour (next time I will try all whole wheat pastry flour) I used 3 TBLSPNS Half & Half in place of milk and cut to 1/2 TBLSPN Vanilla. Dropped by Large spoonfuls & Baked @ 350 for about 12 min. My first batch and largest of the cookies were baked for about 10-11 min and they were almost too moist. I perfer a little tiny bit of crispness to the edge, so I made the rest SLIGHTLY smaller and baked for another min or 2. YUM~

This was SOOOOOO Yummy! This year for Thanksgiving I decided to search out a recipe for the dressing my Grandma made (and my Mom and I still make) to get exact measurements. (When my mom passes down a recipe she always recites the ingredients and gives me approximate amounts (Tear up a loaf or so of bread add some onion 7 celery, oh and a little butter....you get the idea) well, This recipe has the same ingredients (plus a few more spices) but it actually came out better than ever since it was not as dry! I did a few minor tweaks based on other reviews and my desire to make it closer to my Grandma's--- I added a little more sage since their dressing was mostly a sage dressing. Plus, a little more broth since a few reviews thought it was a little dry. I put a little less thyme & parsley in, since these never part of their original ingredients, but I thought they would make tasty additions nonetheless. It was a huge hit! Everyone that is used to my stuffing was pleased, as usual, with the flavor (I think it was actually better)but love the moister version! I am used to dry dressing, so I don't like the very soppy moist versions, but this one came out as a perfect balance for us. i will be making it this was from now on! Thanks!!
