I have sort of a love/hate feeling about these. On the up side, there's a lot of butter in these cookies and the taste really comes through - they're buttery rich and delicious, and there's kind of a sweet/salty thing going on that really is good. On the flip side, however, there's a lot of butter in these cookies - which makes them not as thick as I prefer, and a little on the greasy side. I did add 1/2 tsp. of baking powder in addition to the baking soda to give them a little more lift and, as I always do with cookie doughs made with butter, I chilled the dough for about an hour. Still, they spread quite a bit while baking and a flat, spread-out cookie is not very attractive to me. This would be a five star cookie if I was eating them blindfolded!
