I found that although not bland tasting, but not sweet like you would  
expect a dessert cookie to be. I would reccomend if you like them to be  
sweet to up the amount of sugar in the initial mix.

If served with hot chocolate, they would be excellent as they are.

I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather  
hear me drink scotch.
