More Recipes For You To Enjoy:I made these cookies today. They are delicious and smell SOOO good while baking. I used a tablespoon to size them and it made exactly 4 dozen. They baked nicely for me at 13 minutes. Seemed odd to increase the size of the cookie and decrease the baking time, but they did turn out great.
I found the newspaper clipping in my recipe box but only the ingredients and the first line of instructions. What a hoot to find the exact same recipe on the internet! Thanks.
can you use butter instead of shortening in these honey apple cookies?
