If your cookies didn't harden it's because you didn't bring them to a FULL rolling boil and keep it boiling for 5 minutes. This is key....otherwise you'll end up with a lovely sauce for over ice cream, lol. five stars

Would make this again.
Use powdered sugar instead of regular sugar and the cookies will set better. I also like to set mine on parchment paper instead of waxed so they don't stick. These are so yummy I've been making and eating them since childhood! five stars
