The consistency of these were beautiful; just wonderfully chewy and not bad flavor if only I could have got past the major sugar JOLT! I added more of everything except for the sugar and that helped somewhat although they are still very, very sweeet. That's not something the little sugar fiends (kids) are complaining about but for most people I would think this might be too sweet so I would play around with the measurements in the future. Overall, I was really happy to find a cookie without the dreaded saturated fats (margarine, butter, and shortening) so I'm glad I found this recipe which I plan on tinkering around with next time.
