These are the kind of cookies that I love, and they're great. Simple. Delicious. It doesn't always need to be a lot of ingredients, chocolate, sprinkles, etc. Just simple, delicious, ingredients. Good!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"11\/21\/2009 04:20","GUID":"7990ea254c84459b9af2cc271318f61e","MemberId":4588144,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"catsandkids","SubmittedDate":"11\/21\/2009 04:20"},{"Comment":"
These are not very good. I hated wasting the ingredients. I kept looking at the recipe to see if I forgot something or did something wrong, but I made them correctly. Big disappointment.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"09\/10\/2009 22:59","GUID":"410e496458bd49dca6538f91dac679cf","MemberId":2872794,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"itsygirl","SubmittedDate":"09\/10\/2009 23:01"},{"Comment":"
