Great CookieApril 19, 2009By mmelfi
"I made these cookies yesterday. I substituted Splenda for the granulated sugar, because my husband is a diabetic. Worked out great and they were delicious. My family is wanting me to make them again. The only con I found was that it didn't make the 6 dozen the recipe said, it only made 3 dozen, and my cookies were standard size. Even with the smaller amount of cookies, THEY WERE GREAT!!!"
