Thanks for your reply, I got it now... A couple last things..I've only recently just started cooking, but why such a small amount of baking powder, and also when you say teaspoon vanilla, do you mean the one thats liquid form in a teenie tiny bottle? Thanks again! You don't want much baking powder in these cookies because the more baking powder, the taller and "cakier" they'll be. And we want these to be nice and dense and fudgy. And yes, the vanilla is usually in a small brown bottle, and you use just a little bit; a teaspoon might be the size of, gosh, half a chestnut, maybe? Have fun, Thanos- PJH
