  1. Dorothy REVIEW:

    My mother and grandmother both made these tea cakes. I've been looking for a long time for her recipe and I'm sure this is the one as I have make these three times now. We don't use the black pepper and I use Almond Extract sometimes with very fine chopped almonds in the batter. These are extremely good and my family and friends all love them.

    Trying to figure Weight Watcher points. It shows 2 pts per serving, but how many servings does this batch make? Trying to determine cookie size. Can you help me with that?

    • The data provided is per serving, which is listed as one cookie (60 cookies in the batch)

  3. tootsie REVIEW:

    These were good but I think I'd only add 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla next time.
