not-so Famous Amos

When mentioned the name Famous Amos, I can't help but to be reminded the mind-blowing greed inducing smell, each and every time I pass a Famous Amos shop. Even after I have have purchased the tiny-shallow-bottomed bag it can never fulfill my hunger for more. So needless to saw when i was passed this 'secret recipe' I had to try it immediately. I quickly recruited my sous baker, Marina and in a flash we whipped up a batch. After waiting for a eternity (10 minutes) we were promptly disappointed as there was not even a whiff of the signature smell. But after tasting these frangraceless cookies, we were pleasantly surprised how good these cookies were. They were not Famous Amos cookies but they were good enough.

I'll get your recipe soon Famous Amos! I've been hinted by a few its in the butter. I'm thinking nutmeg...
