Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Well - these cookies were always a family favorite in my house growing up! I've tried several times, and recently my own daughter, Christine has tried this recipe,but although it tastes magnificent, doesn't come out the same way? Perhaps it is that we didn't tap the tops until they spring back up? I have the original recipe from a magazine that my mom cut out- there were many type-o's and no one cared, but some how my mom made an amazing cookie!
