These were OK, a bit crumbly and not sweet enough.

    These are amazing little cookies. I became immediately addicted to them as soon as they cooled enough to sample them. I figured that they couldn't possibly be as good the next day — WRONG — still delicious. I can't tell you if they stay good for any longer than that because they all disappered after the first day. Everyone who tried them LOVED them. I followed the recipe exactly other than I only made a half batch (what was I thinking??!!!) and took them out of the oven after 12 minutes (1/2 recipe gave me 22 cookies). Very easy recipe with amazing results. I will definately be looking for any excuse to make these again. Thanks Lennie for another keeper.
