I did the recipe. Just amazing. The only thing I changed was I added a tiny bit of vanilla extract (one teaspoon) and a little bit of milk too (one teaspoon) I baked them at 350. I know that doesnt make a difference. But your right about the last part, the cookie ends up being crunchy on the outside and so soft and cheewy in the inside. I also cooked them for 14-20 mins. But no one should keep them in for more than 20 mins.

@Gary320 One day when I making them, I added some vanilla. My boyfriend saw me doing that and said "NO NO NO, that is NOT how my family does it!" Haha! So needless to say, I dont add vanilla to mine. I didnt feel like it made that big of a flavor difference. I usually cook mine for 14.5 mins (I've got it down to a T now!) Glad you liked them, I think they're amazing as well! :D Thanks for your kind comments! Oh and also, I use 1 cup of crisco (or 1 stick), for those that were curious!

what can i use instead of crisco, because we can't get that in the netherlands... and what is AP flour??.. :) thanks

[GingerCupcakeCards]

@ayellessnuffelhoek you can probably use margarine as a substitute :)

and AP flour just means all purpose...so your plain old white flour :)

@coolgirleverything09 Crisco is kind of like butter it comes in a blue can and there is butter flavored Crisco

[spotlight792]

Oh---and how much do they make?

[spotlight792]

@coolgirleverything09 its like a butter substitute. But it's not the best...

[spotlight792]

Can I use butter instead of crisco? I find margarine and crisco unhealthy.

[coolgirleverything09]

hey gingercupcake since u said it will be crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, do u kno how to make it just crunchy and not chewy? haha :D because i need to make this now and use it for tmorro i think chewy cookies wouldnt taste so good when they're not fresh. should i add more flour or anything? thanks!

[Gary320]

@GingerCupcakeCards LOL @ the story. You're right it didn't add too much of a difference. (made two different batches).. I guess Im just use to putting Vanilla Extract when I bake. I felt the ones that I removed with 14-15 minutes were much more delicious since they were more chewy then the ones that stayed there for a minute extra. It's been one of the first time I've been baking and wanted to experiment with timing, you're right that 14-15 minutes is perfect.

@doramagurl91 1 cup is fine. That's what I did.
