Another is to substitute oil for half of the butter in the recipe. It makes the cookies softer, but sometimes it is harder for me to gauge when they are done.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-37801089349955868752011-01-13T00:25:22.728+00:002011-01-13T00:25:22.728+00:00These all look so yummy.

I wish mine turned out a little more professional.<br /><br />Petty - Mine always come out a bit too crunchy too.<br /><br />Molly - I wasn't going to even attempt to eat it after the cat kept jumping up and sniffing around. Ours was purely decoration.<br /><br />Naida - I shall try that next time. I really do want soft cookies.<br /><br />JoAnn - the girls did enjoy it, although they have wanted to cook since. I wonder if we cooked too much in one go and now they don't want to do it anymore!<br /><br />Mary - you can imagine the key lime pie I made yesterday instead as that is fresh and my first time at making it.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-45964580246777543422011-01-12T14:04:43.012+00:002011-01-12T14:04:43.012+00:00Trying really hard to imagine having one of these ...Trying really hard to imagine having one of these treats with my cup of coffee right about now.
