Where is the older recipe called Kat’s cookies? It was wonderful and it did have baking soda.
Hi Pat, Kat’s Cookies is a favorite! It was winning submission in the 2006 Swans Down Scratch Baking Made Simple Recipe Contest It’s posted for you below. Happy baking!
What does the corn syrup do? Can you leave it out?
Hi Elsa, Corn syrup is used to make the cookies softer and chewier. If you don’t have corn syrup on hand you can use honey or molasses, but it will slightly alter the flavor. Happy baking!
I made these today, is it true there’s no baking soda? Wondering if using an electric mixer to blend butter/sugar/egg would have made a higher cookie. These came out quite flat.
Hi Laura, Yes this recipe does not call for baking soda. It’s the melted butter that results in a lower profile, more chewy cookie. If you prefer you can put the cookie in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up before baking. Happy baking!
This was the only flour I had on hand so I looked up the recipe and the batter came out beautiful and soft. the cookies were so good and its the only way I will make them from how on!
