They are much better using the all "oleo" recipe. That is the way my mom made them over the years. If you cook them alittle longer they are crisp cookie! If you cook them less they are a soft cookie! I love them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-23020770565581649152012-09-08T21:08:52.901-04:002012-09-08T21:08:52.901-04:00Thanks so much, Anonymous.

I tried one of the cookies frozen, and they taste just as good frozen as not! Anyway, went by her home one week later and ALL of the cookies are gone. I must say, these are truly addictive and just wonderful. The cookie's ability to be frozen also means that you can make a batch before a holiday and unfreeze for sharing when your ready to share.

I baked them 14 and 15 minutes, like the LHJ said to do. They are very crisp, yet still a bit moist inside. And, the recipe makes loads of them (more than 40) and are delicious. Next time, I may try to bake them for a shorter period of time -- the 10 to 12 minutes suggested by the handwritten recipe, although the bake-for-about-15-minutes variety were terrific.<br /><br />BarbarainAustin<br />August 2012Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-56648414748649427262012-08-19T22:00:46.816-04:002012-08-19T22:00:46.816-04:00Lucy -- Your comment made my day (even though it t...Lucy -- Your comment made my day (even though it took me several days to respond)! You can try this recipe here, but this was one of the recipes in the Ladies Home Journal story about my blog and they had the test kitchen refine the recipe. So, if you go to LHJ.com and search "dessert collector" you'll be able to find the tested recipe.
