Been making these for close to 35 years, learned to make them from my first girlfriend's mother. The only way to make them better is to use butter instead of margarine. Also if you use a tablespoon of vanilla instead of teaspoon they're just a little bit more flavorful.

Absolutely love this recipe. Made these cookies with my daughter last night and they're almost all gone! Apparently the two people who posted negative comments can't follow instructions or need a new oven.

I would not make this again. I had the same problem as someone else the cookies flattened then crumbled. The middle was a little uncooked but the edges were golden. But the taste was not bad:)

I would NOT make this again....dough "balls" went flat in the oven...cookies fell apart.
