Love this cookie. 11 minutes seems perfect for bake time. I've been using an old recipe for years and it somehow just changed over time and the cookies were just boring. This is great. Very nice texture, not too cakey not too dry. Wonderful understated flavor - just great... I made up a batch for this Easter sunday and made different colors for the icing. They look like a bunch of beautiful Easter eggs. DELICIOUS... Thanks for this recipe. Also makes several dozen if you don't make them too big. Nice... I changed the baking powder amount to 1 tablespoon.

Fabulous cake. I also followed the advice and substituted applesauce for half the oil. I also added about an 1/8 tsp each of allspice, nutmeg and ground cloves because I'm nuts for a spice flavor. I used 2 cups of powdered sugar for the icing. Everyone was wild for the cake. A few people said it was the best they ever had. Just great. I'll be keeping this recipe in my collection and will definitely make it again.
