One of the commenters was my online friend, Barbara, who has a fabulous blog called Bless Us O Lord where she shares her cooking expertise, a weekly menu, and an array of recipes even I have been able to use.
During my cookie fiasco, Barbara suggested that I take the amount of butter listed in the recipe and replace it with 1/2 Imperial Margarine and 1/2 Crisco Shortening. She also said to replace my brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
I followed Barbara's tweaked recipe and here is the result:
These cookies are perfect and taste delicious. My family thanks you, Barb, as do I.

Glad that suggestion worked out for you, Devin. My mom doesn't bake much anymore, but those cookies are her speciality. Most of the time I don't bother making them, I just have the kids call their Mimi.
There's something about the Imperial margarine that makes the texture perfect and the dark brown sugar makes the taste.
*GASP!* Pure heaven! Those look like PURE HEAVEN I tell you!! yummm.....
mmmmmm... I gave up cookies for Lent. I had to stop myself from licking my computer screen when I saw your cookies.
Great job on the cookies, I knew you could do it.
They look as close to perfect as a cookie can get!
