Excellent, Member Blissfulbeader

We made the dough yesterday and baked them today and we love them! The dough seemed too wet when preparing it for chilling, but it hardened up nicely and was easy to cut and bake today. I cheated and used KCJ butterscotch flavoring instead of vanilla, and they came out soooo good we're having a hard time not eating too many as they cool. Ours baked in about 6 minutes, so either I cut them too thin, or it's the elevation here (4500') or the recipe just needs adjusting. I have 2 oven thermometers in a $4000 oven, and my oven temp was right on, so it wasn't because my oven is running too hot. These are wonderful and delicious and easy...what more can you ask for...except maybe a maid to bake them...but I had my husband cleaning up the mess, so who needs a maid!?!
