    I'm going to make these for a bake sale to help raise funds for a funeral for a 16 year old boy that was a friend of my son's. He was killed by a train the other night. These looks so good it'll be hard to make them and not eat, but it's for a good cause.

    I 1/2ed the recipe, and powdered sugar instead of white, no vanilla extra---> end result was great still! The cookies smelled so buttery, love them

    I just made these cookies for the first time and YUM! They are so good and so easy to make! (This comes from someone who is not the most advanced baker.) Thinking about adding in crumbled up Reese cups or another type of candy next time too? Thank you for sharing!

    I made these last night with my boys and they are yummy! I just have one question: maybe I made them too big, but they flattened out, so they're pretty thin. How do you make them look more like the photo above? Thanks for the recipe!

      Be sure your butter is not melted, just room temperature. Margarine works better than butter in cookies. Try reducing the margarine to 1 1/2 sticks. You could also try adding an extra 1/2 cup of flour.
      Hope these little tricks will help. -The Six Sisters
