User Reviews:

This is an awesome cookie recipe! I am always on the hunt for great classic baking recipes, even for those items I've made over and over again. I added 1 tsp. nutmeg and 1 tsp. cinnamon, aswell as 1 cup chopped walnuts. I had to bake the cookies for over 20 minutes, which is probably due to an altitude difference from that of the user who submitted the recipe. When I make these cookies again, I will raise the oven temperature to 400-degrees.
