    I really like these cookies. I substitute butter for the shortening because I was out of shortening. They were still really good. This recipe does not yield 48 cookies as stated. I made them the size suggested. I only got 2 dozen cookies.

    I made this recipe today and there is absolutely no way this will make 48 regular size cookies. Mine are probaby a little thicker just to get them to flatten out properly and it made 16 cookies. They are ok but honestly I would rather stick to oversized Mexican Wedding Cookies or some call them Snowballs for the better flavor which uses butter.

    Wish you would list dry ingredients by weight. Scoop & sweep method for measuring flour is NEVER reliable. Everyone scoops differently and a few Tablespoons off can ruin a recipe. Even Martha Stewart DOES NOT USE THIS SCOOP & SWEEP METHOD!

    1 Cup of AP Flour weighs 120 g (according to most web sites).
    1 Cup Scoop & Sweep weighs significantly more!

    Try it & see for yourself.

    The instructions stated butter so I added 4 tablespoons. We are really enjoying the cookie. Very good.

    I just made these cookies and they taste nothing like the Keebler Sandies. The Keebler cookies taste buttery…there is no butter in these cookies. Vegetable shortening is a poor substitute. I may make these cookies again, substituting butter for the shortening, but as it is, this recipe was disappointing.

    I am making this right now, and the dough is the consistency of pie dough, before adding any liquid…have no clue what do do, but maybe add a little water???

    Thank you for the recipes! It allows me to make the food my family loves for less $$$ and with better ingredients. I can’t believe some of these manufacturers still use hydrogenated oils, MSG, and ingredients that do not sound like food and are not found in most home kitchens. Thanks, again!

    I was making the cookies and was following the directions and noticed it said butter in directions but didn’t have butter in the ingredients…am I missing something?

    Oh yeah, try to beat the poor keebler elfs out of a few bucks. They can’t pay the mortgage on there tree house and will get evicted.

    I don’t know what went wrong w/my cookies, but they came out crumbly :'(. I followed the recipe to the letter and it didn’t form into a dough.

      Instead of 1 3/4 cup flour I added 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup cornstarch for a crisper cookie…they were awesome! Makes a great cheesecake crust too!
