Oh boy these are my favorite cookie ever!  Mom and I made them when I was a little girl.  Can't wait to try them!

Good to hear from you Izzet.  I bet you'll be happy when your Valentine's Day workload is done!

I wish that were the end of it lol But next comes Easter, and all the minor seasons then Mother's day.  After that it's pretty quiet so I just need to get through until May then a few months to chill before it starts all over again. lol  Thank you for your thoughts and support.

Baking these now ... haven't tried one yet.

Should these be refrigerated or frozen?

The reason I ask is because they're awfully soft and I was thinking about taking them on my cabin trip tomorrow. Thing is, we have a 40+ ride on an extremely rough gravel road and I just don't know how well they'll hold up.

[umpa]

They will firm up in the fridge.You can freeze them for your trip rena.Have a great time!

This was a recipe i did for Sherripie when she first started FTS.Time flies!

It seems no matter what I cook I always have to cook it longer than your recipe calls for so I wonder if there is something wrong with my oven.  I took them out after 13 min and they still seemed doughy my husband said so I stuck them back in for about 5-10 minutes (big mistake) and burned the bottom rack cookies. lol  Probably 5 minutes would have been fine.

BTW I used all NOW almond flour instead of adding soy and they smelled and taste great otherwise.   Yummy!  My hubby got the burnt cookies because he told me to put them back. lol  I kept the pretty  top rack cookies.

I'm assuming from the rest of the posts that they need to be stored in the frig or freezer? I have memories of beanit butter cookies being  kept in the frig. lol  Oh and one more thing...they were so sticky even after 45 min in the frig...I tried putting Pam on my hands but still they stuck really bad. lol  Any tips for next time?

Everybody's ovens are different.Some gas some electric so I don't think there is anything wrong with your oven.My rule for cookies is when they are firm and dry take them out.They firm up once they have cooled and spend some time in the fridge,before that they can be crumbly.I store my cookies in freezer and they never really freeze.I originally did this recipe for sherripie when she first started because it was the one thing she could not give up! i make them with almond flour too.I have found with soy flour sometimes I get a bitter aftertaste.I do however use soy for my scones, i have tried to replace it with almond but you don't get the denseness of a scone.Scones would be great for you to take to work Izzet.
