These were easy to make and thank you for the measurements in metric! I got 23 fairly large cookies and they baked for 14 minutes. When done they were rather brittle and gooey (wet) and we found them very sweet. I think they would benefit from omitting the chocolate chips, it would make them less sweet (even though I used the dark kind) and possibly make them stay together. Will try that. Thanks for posting.
