Theses are excellent, and work well with lots of substitutions. Add walnuts if you have them, almond extract for a different flavor, crunchy peanut butter, dried fruits, etc. These are delicious no matter what I have laying around to throw in.

I altered the recipe slightly - gluten free baking mix instead of AP flour. No walnuts because I didn't have any, although I will probably use next time. I inadvertently cut down the butter (read the recipe wrong and used half a cup) and will keep that amount next time. And I used pumpkin pie spice plus a few grates of fresh nutmeg. It was so good, my boyfriend asked me for a pan of them to take to the chef at his restaurant and maybe they can serve it as a fall special, served hot with vanilla ice cream.
