I tried this recipe and was disappointed in them. I followed the recipe exactly as written but they look
nothing like the picture. I was wondering if the
baking powder was supposed to be baking soda? The cookies taste good but are very flat and dark looking.
Thanks, Mary Jo McCabe

We've had mixed reviews on this recipe. Some people thought it was terrific; others--not so much. One of our readers increased the temperature to 375F and baked the cookies 18 minutes. Did you find that the cookies were under-done?
