    I made these for the first time tonight, and the first round out of the oven were flat, oily, and very spread out, not at all fluffy! I used new baking soda so I don't think that was the problem. After that first round, I added in an extra 1/3 c flour and made sure the next round were definitely small rounded spoonfuls without getting carried away and making big spoons. The second round turned out much better, still not as fluffy but they weren't so terribly flat. The taste is great, though, and with the adjustments adding more flour I was overall pleased.

    These cookies turned out fantastic even without the baking soda (I'm at a hotel and had everything except that on hand)! I made a couple alterations, mainly because A) I LOVE cinnamon, so I added a bit more , and B) Being that I had diced, dried plums, dried blueberries, and a mix of different raisins, I used all 3 in my cookies...after letting them hangout in a little bourbon first ;) Needless to say, this recipe is easy and delicious. They were a hit at the office n_n

    Ps. for people experiencing problems with the cookies (any cokies ever) spreading too much in the oven, after prepping your cookie sheet with cookie dough goodness, stick the sheet in the freezer for 5min then straight into the oven. This will keep the cookie tighter and more concise :) Mine came out perfectly round and puffy without the baking soda (eggs are a mild leavener themselves.) In this recipe, baking soda is more for oxidation (ie. making the cookies get a lovely, golden color) not to leaven. Baking soda needs an acid (ie. vinegar) to create that reaction.
