I made these cookies yesterday (12\/22). <\/p>
I used the apply juice as a sub for the rum and caramel bits due to chocolate allergies.<\/p>
I followed the recipe exactly. Baked for only 10 minutes as my oven runs a little hotter.<\/p>
The cookies came out flat and chewy, which is not a problem (add baking powder, maybe?) \ud83e\udd14<\/p>
However, the taste of these cookies is Awesome! I have to stop myself from eating them so they last until Christmas day!

I'm making these cookies today. Who doesn't love browned butter and spices! Have a couple family members who cannot eat chocolate, so I'm taking jmkasprak's idea of caramel bits (*swoon*). Pecans sounds good, too.<\/p>
I also do not have alcohol in the house, so after researching, rum extract (I don't have that either \ud83d\ude14); apple, orange, white grape juice; or apple cider can be substituted. <\/p>
I'm giving a 5 star review now and will verify, one way or the other, after a taste test.<\/p>
Merry Christmas!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-04-01","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanHat"},"reviewBody":"This is a fantastic cookie.
