That said the dough was a little brittle and I was afraid it was going to make for a dry/crumbly cookie, but with a a couple quick kneads of the dough it came together. I baked these for 8 minutes as directed, turned the pan and baked another 5-6 minutes. These are puffy without being cakey and the cookie itself has great vanilla/caramel flavor. I did add a sprinkle of salt to these.
