Oh wow, that is great. I am so glad you like them. These cookies are really on the soft side but I think you are right, adding a bit more sugar will perhaps make them more crunchy, I just think as the recipe stands they are sweet enough and maybe adding more will make them way too sweet. You can try an extra couple of minutes baking time. I don’t think that will burn them. Try one minute next time and if they are still good add the other minute later on on a future cookie batch :-) Thanks for visiting my blog.

I just made these cookies yesterday, but made oatmeal cookies with dark chocolate chips, because that’s what I had on hand (no rum either). They came out exactly like you said they would. The batter was a bit wet, so I put it in the fridge as I prepped my parchment paper and baking pan. I used generous tablespoon scoops and spread them over 2 pans and baked them for about 11 minutes. They looked very dark so I was afraid I had burnt them, but they were still soft and smelled great. I would maybe have liked a crunchier cookie, but the sweetness was perfect for me, so I would not like to add sugar to make it crunchier (perhaps you have another suggestion? would another 1-2 mins of baking be too much?). I managed to get about 24 cookies, so each is only around 120 calories and 7 g sugar.

These were amazing cookies and I will return again and again to your recipe. Thanks so much! They made my weekend! ^_^
