Finally a cookie with a decent texture! Good chewy cookie, not dry, not tough.
I have been looking for my Grandmothers' cookie recipe for over 20 years. I think this might be it !!!! They sure look the same ..lol No matter - I KNOW they will be excellent just by the ingredients.

These cookies are delicious. I was able to make 3 dozen. They have a moist, chewy texture, and the hint of cinnamon adds a nice touch to the flavour. It could be my oven, but I needed 12 minutes baking time.
