These are as easy and as good as all the other reviews have mentioned. This is my first year baking loads of X-mas cookie and this recipe was a hit. I actually took the basic ingrediants (Butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda) and changed some of the other ingrediants to make some amazing alternatives...such as: Extra vanilla extract, vanilla soy protein instead of cocoa powder, vanilla chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips. OR I used peppermint extract with cocoa powder, extra butter, peppermint chips, chocolate chips, pieces of candy canes & peppermint bark. Or Almond extract with vanilla soy protein, almond butter, dried cherries, almonds, and vanilla chips. All variations I tried turned out great...I am NOT a baker and making alternatives was fun and easy...I can't way to try nutella or other butters like pumpkin or apple...I bet the possiblities are endless...

I'm trying to make these cookies right now and with the measurements listed I can't get the dough to be dough. It's dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried it twice and I have had to toss the cookie out. If you have any suggestions please let me know. This is the first year I'm trying to do Christmas baking and I can't afford to throw away ingredients.
