REVIEWS:

You don't have to make the ball very big. They spread out. It depends on your preference. I actually made some small and some larger. I just adjusted the cooking time a little bit (30 seconds-1 minute).

Delicious! My husband is very picky when it comes to cookies and he loved them. I did make one simple change. Instead of dipping the ball in water and then in sugar, I just rolled the whole ball in the sugar(no water). I thought it looked better that way.

Going to make later. Just wanted to tell sjor/confused. There are two sizes of marbles. The average small one and then one that's at least 2 times larger.

I'm confused. It says make into large marble size balls. If I remember correctly marbles are not very large. Is that the correct size ball to make.

Don't know about the cooking time, but it's 48 cookies, or 24 servings, because the serving size is 2 cookies.

I am confused...beginning of recipe says bake 10 minutes & yield 24.....end of recipe says bake 6 min w/yield of 4 dozen. Which is correct?

Excellent with coffee. Thanks for sharing.

These are the best cookies. I love them!

This is a great recipe for anytime. Thanks, Becky!
