I made these cookies last weekend. I used the King Art AP flour and a scale and mine, too, were pretty flat and were underdone at 10 minutes. So, no problem, I baked them for 12 minutes and used the convection fan. They came out crisp around the edges and soft in the center with a beautiful brown color. Also I dipped the upper hemisphere of the dough ball into the sparkling sugar rather than regular sugar. I wouldn't omit the pepper because it adds a very nice sensation. Delicious cookies. Hard to stop at just one. Hmmm, not sure why they came out so flat... But glad they worked out well for you. If you don't want them quite so flat, try not greasing the pan; they have enough fat that you should be able to slide them off even an ungreased pan... PJH
