This was the best cookie recipe I have ever made. The cookies are so delicous you wouldn't believe. My kids ate up the cookies in less than a day. Trust me after you eat one you'll have to eat another and another. If you don't have mace then you can add 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg as a substitute. I really recommned making these cookies!

Wonderful cookie!! Received raved reviews at work. Incidently, I used frosted flakes instead of regular flakes, and the results were excellent. Frosted flakes, because of their extra thickness, tend to hold up better in raw cookie dough, to not lose their crispiness.

These were great! Five STARS all the way! I made them over the holiday weekend for visiting relatives, and everyone loved them. I took the tip and substituted the mace(which I didn't have)with nutmeg. I'm glad that I didn't see those two last wacky reviews, or I might not have tried these....and I'm SO glad that I did!

This is a keeper. You can add anything and everything, use your imagination. I had 1/4 bag of peanutbutter chips, chopped a Hershey special chocolate bar, chopped pecans, Special K cereal (stay away from frosted cereal, makes it to sweet). Next time may try sour cherries and white chocolate chips. Watch the cooking time,hard to tell if their cooked becasue the dough is dark in color. My oven runs hot so I baked the first batch to gague the time. Have fun.

The amount of mace in this recipe was too overwhelming......

What a GREAT cookie!!! I really appreciated the review that mentioned slightly underbaking for a chewier cookie (good for hubby .. I like crispy) And the recipe makes both easily with a small adjustment to baking time. This cookie pleases every eater in my house!! A Five Star Keeper! :)

These cookies are amazing - everyone at my dinner party ate about ten! I halved the recipe and substituted raisins for walnuts. These I LOVE. Remember they spread ALOT on the cookies sheet.

I felt like a mad scientist when I was making these cookies, but they are SOOO good. I made mine with Rice Krispies, 1/2 choc. chips and 1/2 butterscotch along with everything else. All I can say is Yummy, they are for sure going into the Christmas cookie box this year.

This is a great cookie recipie! Easy to put together, easy to bake, and they taste wonderful. I added 1 cup of raisins, and substituted 1 cup of white chocolate chips, for the regular chocolate chips - considering peanut butter chips for the next time I bake them. I also used 2 + 1/4 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of all of the other spices listed - the flavor is comparable and you only have to purchase one spice. Please disregard the nay sayers, this is a recipie worth trying.

These cookies were excellent!! I substituted rice kripies for corn flakes & raisins instead of walnuts. Instead of shaping the dough into balls, I flattened it down. It makes the cookies crispier. Definitely a keeper in this house!!
