Thank you for the recipe! You've made it easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to get. Wonderful!
Hi Paul, we actually used 2 cookie sheets so we were able to put them all in the oven at the same time. Therefore they all rose the same amount. And I am astounded at how good they are!! Next time I show up at a party or a dinner, I'm taking these cookies with me. They are with out question the best cookies I've ever made.
Nice. Did the cookies on the bottom rack puff up more?
I actually have a convection oven (ie. a fan in the oven that circulates the hot air) so I didn't notice a difference between the top and middle racks. Have you had issues with that in the past? I'm uploading a video shortly, and you'll get to see the finished top-rack cookies in it. But unfortunately I don't think I have photos or video of the lower rack cookies for comparison. But looking at them all on a plate I couldn't tell which came from which rack.

These cookies look fantastic! Did the first batch of cookies that came out of the oven raise as much as the second?
