These were excellent. Very yummy, not too sweet. I did a half batch and the recipe halved nicely. I also didn't let mine sit anywhere near 30 minutes - more like 15 - and the cookies were perfect coming out of the oven at 30 minute cook time.<br/><br/>Many thanks!

This was probably the worst tasting recipe I have ever baked. I followed the recipe very carefully. When I tasted them, I thought I must have missed some crucial ingredients, but after rechecking the ingredients, measurements and instructions, I hadn't. They are very, very bland, unless you happen to get a chocolate chip in every bite. My family wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. I had to throw them out, which is something I've never had to do with any of my baked goods. Healthy does not have to be tasteless.
