This is a great recipe Jill. I made a Vegetarian Alternative version Used raw sugar instead of brown sugar - may be more difficult to dissolve but I let it sit and had no problems. Used lower sodium soy sauce. I also used 3/4 tbspn sesame oil and 1/4 tbspn spicy sesame oil. Dressing has a very nice nutty flavor with the sesame oil. Napa cabbage - really grabs the dressing and is nutrient rich - curled carrots - celery - cucumber - radishes - green onion - raw almond slivers (too lazy for noodles)- Fresh ground black pepper. I didn't even miss the meat with enough almond slivers. The almond slivers taste FANTASTIC with this dressing!! Excellent idea, I will definitely make this again. Since I used all hard vegetables, it should last a few days in the fridge;) Thank YOU!

These are outstanding!!!!! I altered this recipe slightly: one c of butter flavored shortening 1/2 c of salted butter omitted salt 1.5 c of brown sugar 1/2 c of granulated sugar measured spices loosely I received rave reviews for the cookies and in my oven they needed only about 7-8 minutes per batch, perfect crispy/chewy texture. I did have to flatten with a fork after rolling in sugar in order to get the texture I wanted. Thanks for the great recipe!
