  • “they were very good. my family enjoyed them!!!”

  • “In an effort to keep the calories down I made these with a cup of Splenda instead of the brown & white sugar. I added a tablespoon of sugar free syrup to make up for the lack of brown sugar. Cookies were excellent! Thanks for a great recipe.”
