Note that the amount of sugar is reduced significantly in this recipe, for people who have a sweet tooth, feel free to add more sugar or other ingredients such as chocolate chips to enhance the sweetness. I personally, my family as well, are satisfied with sweetness of this cookies. Oh, other than that, I found that this cookies doesnt spread that much while baking, so remember to flaten them before putting into the oven, or else you will result in ball-like cookies (like me). The texture of the cookies is like cakery-soft, not chewy, I guesss this is because I didnt flaten them. Anyways, this is just a minor error, didnt really affect the taste, they are good and healthier in general.
