I'm so sorry you had problems with the ... Jem,<br /> I'm so sorry you had problems with the recipe. The amount of cookies you got was correct , the batch makes about 30. The dough balls are about 1 inch across dented a bit with the finger then are placed on the sheet about an inch or so apart. As long as they're not pressed down too much they won't spread.<br /> Cooking time is about 25 minutes, the cookies are still on the soft side when they come out of the oven, they firm up as they cool. I usually pick one up on my spatula and peek at the bottom to see if it has any color. That's when I know they're ready to come out.<br /> Different ovens can do different things and I've found often when following others recipes I may need to cook something longer or a shorter period of time depending on how my oven may differ from someone elses.<br /> I hope you like the taste, if there's any other way I can help let me know.kathy gorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004466498215502039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-9987483029981361522012-12-23T18:16:53.869-08:002012-12-23T18:16:53.869-08:00This recipe looks absolutely delicious, with unusu...This recipe looks absolutely delicious, with unusual, complex flavors. I've got a batch in the oven right now, waiting to be finished baking and sampled.<br /><br />But there are some problems with the writing of the recipe:<br /><br />1. No yield or amount is given. I got about 30 very small cookies from one batch.<br /><br />2. There are no instructions saying how much batter should be used for each cookie or the size of each cookie (e.g., use 1 tsp. of batter for each cookie, or the balls should be about 1" in diameter), so I wasn't sure how small or large to make them. This is a very important omission, as the temperature and length of cooking time would affect different sizes very, very differently, perhaps leaving the smaller ones overdone or burned, or the larger ones undone in the middle.<br /><br />3. There is no mention about how to space the cookies on the cookie sheet. From the pictures, I couldn't really tell what would happen to their shape and size once baked, how much they would or would not spread. Consequently I spaced mine too close; I peeked into the oven after 10 minutes or so and was very dismayed to see that they had all spread into each other. I'm very disappointed because they may taste great (can't wait to try them!), but they're not very pretty, and they were to be a holiday gift for someone.<br /><br />Thank you.<br />JemBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282701546694228861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-80032646056613258162012-12-20T01:40:14.211-08:002012-12-20T01:40:14.211-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Food Storagehttp://www.efoodsdirect.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-71036538362866870622012-12-14T22:03:36.329-08:002012-12-14T22:03:36.329-08:00Thanks, hey're also really easy and fast to ma...Thanks, hey're also really easy and fast to makekathy gorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004466498215502039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669690575334803852.post-80168378751021900302012-12-14T22:02:49.479-08:002012-12-14T22:02:49.479-08:00Thanks Belinda...
