I just made these cookies and used margarine instead of the Crisco. The dough was too soft so I bumped up the flour to a full cup. After baking they were very good but too soft. I don't know if I need more flour or less margarine but I will make them again. I think this recipe has been posted before but I have posted it below. Shannon
