Melissa Mierau's notes: It really foamed when the dry ingredients
were added to the wet, sort of like peanut brittle. Then with further
stirring it thickened up. They baked into a real nice cookie but only
made about 2 dozen (using teaspoon for scoop instead of ice cream
scoop). I will double recipe next time! From: Melissa Mierau Date:
