I had a small taste of these and they taste pretty good. But the real test came in when my diabetic father who hates sugar free desserts requested a third helping. I do use Xylitol sugar replacement.

Melt in your mouth, delicious cookies. One thing I might change next time is to reduce the salt a little, but other wise my whole family loved them. Thank you V for posting these lovely cookies. Made for Bevy Tag.
