I made these cookies exactly as recipe stated, I could not roll the cookies, I had to drop them by spoonfuls and shape them.  They are the most tasteless cookies I have ever eaten.  I recently purchased a bag of the same name cookies and they were "to die" for.  Are the amts. correct on these.

These were some of the best cookies I have ever tasted in my life. My friend introduced me to them and they were delicious. I highly recommend them to anyone who can bake. These are not too hard to make and once they're done you'll never regret making them because they are so tasty.
