Reviews
A bit underwhelmed…. Admittedly, I had to sub in baking powder for baking soda due to lack of ingredients (3:1 ratio), so that could account for the dryness of the cookies, but they also did not spread whatsoever and took almost twice as long to cook. All in all, I would recommend using more liquids to account for dryness. Perhaps there are more flavoring options to consider too, because these ended up being a bit plain.
Mine didn’t spread as much, needs more water, maybe. Needed to bake longer, probably because mine were thicker. To get a little color on the edges, I baked nearly 20 minutes. If I had done 2″ balls, I wouldn’t get nearly 24 cookies. I rolled the balls about 1.5″ and some very small, less than an inch. Since I’m serving them at tea time at my booth in a Farmers Market, the small ones were very nice for handing out. Flavor is excellent, texture is good. Don’t really taste the tea, but they will go over well with the Earl Grey tea we are serving today. Next time, more water so they spread better. Or maybe an extra tsp. of vanilla! That would be yummy.
