I hated these cookies. They didn't flatten at all, so I had big round ball cookies. They also had really no flavor, kind of like a ball of moist flour. I almost threw the batter out, but since it was cold in the house I decided to keep the oven running and cook the rest of them as a treat for our 3 dogs. I just wish I hadn't used up my ingredients!

I made these cookies with vanilla and almond like others have mentioned. They turned out great! While they were baking, I made some cream cheese frosting and added food coloring. My kids had a blast decorating them for our Christmas party, and they tasted great too! I think next time I will add a little more vanilla to them. This was a great recipe! Thanks!

This recipe DOES turn out to be like a cake and in fact i put it into a cake pan and when it was baked, I cut it into six pieces. My sister loved the out come of this recipe. I thought it reminded me of White cornbread!!!

A really tasty cookie and easy to make too. I added half teaspoon each vanilla and almond essence for flavour.I have added it to my special collection and permit me if I experiment further with the basic recipe by adding oats and raisins. Cheryl

Flavor is not the strongpoint of this cookie. It does have a redeeming soft moist texture. Luckily, frosting and sprinkles make up for the lack of flavor, and the overall effect is surprisingly pleasing. I bet kids would love these huge cookies.

oh this was a disaster! it was simple enough to make, i added some vanilla and almond extract because i figured they'd be bland otherwise. the dough was gooey when i finished, but i tried anyway. the cookies didn't flatten or spread out at all. they just puffed up, so i had these big, round cookies. they had an icky, crumbly, dry, dense texture and tasted like absolutely nothing. i can't believe how many people got good results. maybe i did something wrong. either way, this was the worst cookie disaster i ever had. i had to throw out all the cookies-- so many ingredients wasted!
