Chef's Notes

I made these cookies with 1 ½ tablespoons of dough, which made a dozen 3-inch cookies. If you’d like your cookies a little smaller, feel free to do so. Just adjust the baking time accordingly, reducing it by several minutes. Be sure not to overbake; the cookies should be soft.

So good! Also added some cut up Andes mints into the cookie batter. Did not need to add extra flour as other comments suggest. It’s a looser consistency than normal cookie batter- but I think that’s the way it’s supposed to be! The cookies are lighter, more cake like and less dense. Really yummy.

I tried these last Christmas and they are AMAZING! So happy I found this recipe again!

Joan Marie Heath ★ 4.0/5

I had to add almost an additional cup of flour. The recipe called for 1-2 more tablespoons if dough was too thin. I tried that first but it wasn't nearly enough. The author probably needs to update this recipe.
