I guessed I either wouldn't notice a difference or it would change the taste so much I wouldn't like it, either way I would know
Finally used this at Christmas to make sugar cookies. I had read the positive reviews and ordered on a whim. But at Christmas, I chickened out. You know, why mess with a recipe that had been in my family for generations? The morning I decided to make cookies I realized I was out of the one ingredient that is ALWAYS in my house.....vanilla! Still had this bottle in the original packaging in the cabinet, and not wanting to face the rain and the traffic just to go pick up a bottle of vanilla, I decided to give it a try, I guessed I either wouldn't notice a difference or it would change the taste so much I wouldn't like it, either way I would know. I did not change any other ingredients in the recipe, just used it like I would have regular vanilla. And now I know, the cookies were amazing! They were still my original cookies but had such a rich taste to them, more intensified. Practically everyone commented on the flavor. Will definitely be ordering again!!! The Ole' family recipe has been changed!
