Would like to know if anyone has tried this recipe. Is it like NFSC that doesn't spread? Is it soft or hard?

It's basically the same as NFSC except the cookie stays kinda soft. not super soft, but softer. It's delicious and everyone raved about them when i made them. You have to roll it out quickly though, it gets sticky quicker than NFSC. And I thought the parchment/wax paper was a necessity.

I made these and NFSC at the same time and these had definite spread comparatively. But I must say, they taste delicious and are super soft.

Mine I am making at this moment, I rolled out, chilled, cut out, chilled, then placed in the oven. They are still spreading. Definately does not keep the shape like NFSC. However, tasted the dough and its fabulous. Thinking Ineed to eat a trial cookie now.
