Butter and sugar,
eggs, flour, vanilla, salt.
Delicious cookies. The secret ingredient: Butter. Obviously, I also divide the dough in half and add chocolate to one portion!
Merry Christmas!

Delicious cookies??? Has it been published in a peer reviewed journal like Better Homes and Garden? This looks like a good candidate for replication. How do we know they are “delicious” if we don’t have access to your data and methods? Prompt disclosure is in order here.

I love food, and like cooking it. But I don’t understand cookies… The only time I liked it was in military service, but then again it was compared to eating bark of birch trees (we’re still drafted…). Today however I found a new comprehension: my three kids loved to bake them and they even ate them afterwards 😉 They like the once without chocolate better. Is the dove supposed to be rather fat, as glistening from the butter or are they supposed to be drier?
Avfuktare–
These cookies are supposed to be crisp, they don’t glisten. My brothers in law never liked any cookies until these. They prefer the vanilla– I like the chocolate!
I’ll post the recipe and your kids can try them. However, I should warn you that the dough tastes good and sometimes kids eat the dough and you never get any cookies!
Well, the dough (thanks, ahem) did taste good to them and they did eat a lot both before and after baking them. I will appreciate the recipe as my cooking skills are a bit short when it comes to baking. I take the flour, add the spices and eggs and then butter until it feels alright to me. I have no idea of a proper proportion, but alas, at least the kids liked daddys version of the Blackboard Butter Cookie!
