I really loved these, as did the rest of my family. We'll be making them again this Christmas for sure.

The cookies are quite good, however, in a forgotten cookie, it is a firm belief of mine that you need to have at least SOME regular sugar just for taste. Although the Splenda or other sugar substitutes are good for some products, in forgotten cookies it, to me, tastes like a sugar substitue cookie, and not a sweet treat for the holidays.

Nice recipe! I have a friend who can't eat too much suger because of his diet, so I decided to make him some of these. He loved them!
