Delicious and different…
LOL Dave – Yes & Yes. About 2 tablespoons more butter and substituting maple sugar would work beautifully. I did make another batch using those proportions, but no pictures for myself and the neighbors and they were ooey, gooey chewy!
OK… two things…
If I want a gooeyer cookie… add more butter??? (I am asking) any other suggestions?
And what if I don;t have maple extract… just some maple sugar????
LOL Audrey you are so right! Hubby & FIL wanted them crunchy. Next time the goo wins!
I could get into a gooyer version.
Yum! Those sound and look wonderful! They are making my mouth water!
Sounds delicious, almost like banana bread in the cookie. I love the addition of the maple extract.
