Can you use the package of those Carmel pieces. I saw them by the baking stuff at Walmart
Hi Michelle, YES! I’m sure you totally can and that would make it so much easier. I haven’t seen these yet. I’m going to check them out. Let me know how they turn out. :)
Sounds and looks really great. I don’t understand the reason for the corn syrup. They must be really sweet.
Hi Lois, the reason I usually always add the little bit of corn syrup is because I always add extra flour to make the cookies thicker and the corn syrup helps keep them soft. I hope that makes sense but I’ve been doing this for years. :)
