Delicious. Easy to make. Flavorful with all the spices and very smooth not too sweet cookie. Made my own buttermilk substitute. Definitely a keeper recipe. Did make cookies a little bigger about 4 dozen.

I thought this recipe would be amazing, until I looked at the measurements. Who in the world makes 5 dozen cookies? Paula, I wish you would broken the measurements down, so that normal people like myself would be able to use it and not spend an hour trying to convert measurements and estimate. My cookies were soggy and did not form. I will never use another recipe like this!
