     I used Splenda and Splenda brown sugar and just made cookies without the cream cheese frosting. They were very tasty. - 12/24/15

     I rolled these into balls about double the size of a small marble...got about 24 finished cookies...needed to bake them about 13 minutes and let them sit on the cookie sheet another couple of minutes after I removed them from the oven prior to removing them to a rack to cool. Great taste! Crispy! - 12/20/15

     I got about 36 cookies out of this recipe to make 18 sandwiches. Also, making the balls was super hard! Everything was crumbly. I wonder if I did something wrong. - 12/17/20
