• Add remaining ingredients.
• Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.
• Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- do not flatten.
• Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes.
• Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper- the newspaper soaks up extra grease so the cookies don't become crumbly, little trick I learned from my MIL- this is also optional.
• Edited to add - Immediately after the cookies are completely cooled I always transfer them to an airtight container. Several posters have mentioned the cookies get hard if you leave them out. I have never had that problem - these cookies have always stayed soft and moist if they are stored in an airtight container.
