    How many eggs? These sound yummy and simple and I want to try them, but because you refer to eggs (and just list 1 large eggs) I am unsure…. Thanks! Becky C.

    Thank you for the recipe I made them and they were a hit with my family. You certainly do get a good amount out of the mix.

    They were delicious! One question though: there’s a slight bitter aftertaste and my mother-in-law suggested maybe there’s a bit too much baking soda in the recipe and that’s causing the bitterness? Would the cookies still rise properly with 1 tsp of baking soda?
