  5. Seriously? One TABLESPOON plus two teaspoons of baking powder in this recipe? I just pulled my first sheet out of the oven and they look like hockey pucks. What happened to the nice, flat cookie I see in the photo? I’m not certain yet how they taste but I’m thinking I just waisted a whole lot of ingredients and time making these.

  6. Oops, wasted, not waisted. Cookies taste good but I even added another stick of butter to encourage a flatter cookie. Nope. That baking soda MUST be a typo, that’s all I can say.
