Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made these with walnuts and blueberries (left out the white chocolate in the variation). These are very sweet but have a lovely cream cheese tang and crispy and chewy texture. Had a few people at work interested in the recipe.

    I was frustrated by a lot of this recipe. The instructions were not super clear and some measurements seemed off-- the dry ingredients were too much for a small bowl and the recipe made way more thank the 28 cookies. The recipe also suggested placing the cookies 4 inches apart but my cookies barely spread. They were a little flavorless, but the texture was absolutely fabulous. They're addictive. Would make again, despite all the work. I suspect they would be even better with mix ins.
