Forget the baking sheet and aluminum foil. Just drop the cookies onto waxed paper. They come off easily when they are cool.

Kids loved them, i found them to be too sweet, but still yummy!i will cut back on the granulated sugar next time, also hurt mt teeth, pulled at dental work i think. Hard to remove from aluminum foil.

These are great! But, they seize up, quickly, when they come off the stove. So, work quickly!

We have made these a million times! My kids and all their friends LOVE them. I think they are GREAT! We use creamy peanut butter too and they are still yummy!

These have become highly addictive cookies in the family! They are gone within minutes wihtout a chance of cooling off! I have also added a pinch of salt, sprinkled some cinnamon, some chopped pecans & almond as well as raisins. Delicious! It is super easy to make, extremly delicious and surprisingly crunchy....

Family tradition: after spreading out in greased pan, pour chocolate chips, or chocolate candy bar pieces. Place in hot oven for 2 minutes then spread melted chocolate. The best
