I would really like to give this recipe 5 stars, because these cookies are so yummy. However, they are extremely temperamental. I ruined a few dozen cookies trying to figure out the trick to this recipe. Follow my advice exactly, and you shouldn't have a problem.
1) DO NOT make these cookies without either a silpat or parchment paper. Greasing the cookie sheet is not enough. The cookies will still stick like cement. 2) These cookies spread - A LOT. Place only 9 teaspoon-sized drops on a standard sized sheet. Any more than that and they will spread together into one big cookie. 3) Bake for only 9 minutes. They won't look done, but they are. 4) Follow the instructions of leaving the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a rack. Any less time and you will completely mutilate the cookies. Don't let my comments scare you away from this recipe - the cookies are fabulous!
