I tried these cookies and found that their consistency once baked, was more like a meringue. In other words EXTREMELY sweet! I did use a teaspoon of batter as recommended, however the recipe only yielded 27 morsels. Also, I do have a brand new stove and they took 15 minutes to bake. In summary, they were okay if you like 'sweet' but I personally will not make them again.<\/p>","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"07\/09\/2011 13:48","GUID":"3b6646bf3cb3415692003a931a33de9e","MemberId":6092497,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"mrsben","SubmittedDate":"07\/09\/2011 13:48"},{"Comment":"
