This was a good cookie- definitely more of a cake like cookie, and not a traditional cookie texture. I liked it for something different. I used mini chips (would have preferred regular ones, but that was all I had) and added some chopped pecans as well. Because this was more of a cake like cookie, although they were very moist, I was thinking of trying to dip the tops in some type of glaze, like a cream cheese glaze or something, but really they are fine as is. I just have a terrible sweet tooth and can't help but always try to make something more sweet than it already is. Thanks for posting the recipe, I really did enjoy the cookies.
