Easy to make recipe. I'm glad to have had the picture, though, or otherwise I would have thought I had missed an ingredient. The cookies raised just fine and were moist, chewy, and gooey. Be sure to emphsize greasing the cookie sheet as I had trouble sliding the cookies off the sheet to the rack to cool even with a light coating of spray oil. Their taste and their attractive appearance make them a good choice for any occaision.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/07\/2009 21:56","GUID":"dfbc77e9a4ef4d2eb9eab664bd09ed49","MemberId":2217466,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"SHJankowski","SubmittedDate":"12\/07\/2009 21:56"},{"Comment":"
