    I Regret making these cookies!!! Only for the fact that they were SO GOOD and I ate tons of them!
  16. Kifayeh taiym says:
    So that really is 1 tablespoon of vanilla?
  17. Cyd says:
    Yes, it's 1 tablespoon of vanilla. But we used imitation vanilla. If it's pure vanilla you may want to reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
  18. Debbie Caraballo says:
    I would love this recipe, but nothing is showing under Ingredients, and only a partial post under Directions. I even pinned, then looked at it, and same thing. Help!!
  19. Cyd says:
    Hi Debbie, I just pulled up the recipe on the post and it looks fine. All of the ingredients and directions are there. Not sure why it's acting funny on your end.
  20. Judy Whitford says:
    Can you please tell me about how many this will yield? I have to do gift bags for the elderly and need to figure out if I will have to double the recipe.
  21. Cyd says:
    This recipe yields about 24 cookies. You could get more if you roll the balls smaller.
