1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Cream together the first 5 ingredients. Add the next 6 ingredients.
2. Gradually fold in the flour; mix well.
3. Drop by large tablespoonfuls on cookie sheet or roll dough to the size of a large walnut, and then press flat with a spoon. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
4. After 8 minutes of baking, test with a finger and remove from the oven while they still can be indented.
