5 TBS of baking powder sounds way too much. Is this correct?
Lovefoodies says
Hi Phyllis, it’s teaspoons 😁
triv says
prep time was…. more…. than 5 minutes!! cookies came out very good (i did half the raisins and half the nuts (pecan) because of household preferences, probably should have done full amts.though). great with coffee or cold glass of milk.
Cinni says
Has anyone made these using LESS sugar? We like things less sweet but want to make sure the recipe isn’t already that way or if using 3/4 cup would ruin the texture.
April Adams says
1 1/4 WHATs of brown sugar, Mary? Cups? Tablespoons? These sound so good, I have to try them.
