My friends loved them, but I found them to be a little on the bland side. I would maybe keep the original amount of sugar, but do half granulated and half brown. Also, I used margarine...I would strongly recommend you use REAL butter! lol! Don't skimp! I'd add more cinnamon next time too... -
These were easy to make but very sweet. I read the other reviews before making and cut back on the sugar and they were still really sweet for us. -
These were good but too sweet, I thought. Next time I will add a bit of cinnamon in the batter and only use half of the topping mixture. I like having a bar cookie that isn't chocolate though. Thanks for posting! -
I love desserts made with cinnamon. This one is delicious. But a bit too sweet. And I reduced the sugar just a little bit. So next time, I'll reduce more for the sugar. Thanks Annacia :) Made for 123 hit wonders. -
