I couldn't wait to make these cookies and made them exactly according to the recipe. The batter was scrumptious so I couldn't wait for the finished product to come out of the oven. Sadly, they were incredibly dry and crumbly.

Double this recipe at your own peril - I did and had to find a HUGE bowl to finish mixing the dough (and had to sort of knead the dough). On the other hand, they're delicious and I'm hoping that they'll freeze well.

These cookies are very good and easy to make. I used cookie scoop to drop them and went very fast. I also added a cup of dried cranberries because we like them. I had to bake them 18 minutes but they are worth it.

Agree... little presumptuous to call it the world's BEST cookie. Dough is great! Cookie is ok. Be careful to not overbake this cookie. My big 1.5" scoop goes for 12 minutes, my small 1.25" scoop only for 10 [oven runs true temperature]. Bottom edge just barely turning light golden. If wait until they are golden brown, then overbaked - which I did on the first pan full. Doesn't make the cut for my Christmas Cookie production of 14-16 types, but could see where this would be an enjoyable cookie with coffee or tea. I'm certain my dad would love it. Yield: 2 dozen of the large scoop plus 6 dozen of small scoop cookies from one batch.

I found these cookies to be dry and the taste to be kind of boring. If you make them be sure to drop the cookies not roll them or else they will come out hard like rocks.

These cookies were too dry for my taste. I cooked them for 12 minutes. The real test for me of how to rate a recipe is whether or not I would make it again. I'll pass on this one and keep on looking for that perfect cookie recipe.

A little presumptuous to call it the world's BEST cookie, but it is a great tasting cookie. It took about 3 cups of whole cornflakes, lightly rolled over a number of times with a rolling pin, to make 1 cup of crushed cornflakes. I used a heaping soup-spoonful of dough, pressed firmly, which made 47 cookies, each about 2½" to 2¾" in diameter. I used a non-stick cookie sheet, and there was no need to spray it first. 15 minutes baking time was fine, with no burning.

The name speaks for it's self. I cut the butter and the oil to 3/4 cup each and found out that by adding a tablespoon or two of milk the batter came together much better. Will make more of these.Definitely a five star plus cookie.
