| I have tried making these cookies three times following the recipe below and each time the finished cookies are too greasy. When I shape the cookies into a ball I have melted butter oozing out in the process. Anyone else experience this issue ? On my last effort I tried cutting back on the amount of butter by 3 tablespoons but am not sure how much can be cut without affecting taste and texture.
I have also tried creaming the butter and sugar which seemed to help with the greasiness but family have said the cookie texture was not the same, which I expected. My mom used this recipe and I don't remember the greasy texture of the cookie. Recipe for cookie omitting caramel/nut dip: 21/2 C flour
Melt 1 C butter
Add dry ingredients ; mix well Shape into balls , flatten one side and pinch top into a peak.
Any suggestions or is this to be expected with the melted butter method used?

| Interesting. I have never had anything like that and would love to see the caramel nut part of the recipe. I wonder if your problems are coming from the regular grocery store butter having too high a water content and separating the water from the fat when you melt it is causing the problems. Maybe try a European butter? Alexa |

| Maybe letting the dough sit in the fridge for a while will help the flour absorb the moisture. I have to do that with some recipes so the cookies don't spread in the oven. |
