These are yummy cookies alright. I used Splenda for the sugar and then sunk my good intension's by doubling the candied ginger, lol. I made the recipe for 1 dozen cookies and got exactly that. I set the timer for 10 mins and then did the dishes. I did find that the 10 mins was just a little bit too long for my oven. They would have been perfect with 1 -1.5 mins less. That was my fault for not watching them more closely since I know that my oven runs hot. This was a great trial run for Christmas and I'm going to enjoy eating this dozen :D
