SO HOW'D IT GO?
These were good. I used tubinado sugar and sucanat, which I wouldn't recommend because the crystals didn't melt so it stayed kind of crunchy. I also used almond extract, but I would recommend vanilla instead because the almond extract gave it a cherry-like flavor. Because there is so much margarine (I used SBL), the cookies spread a great deal and became very flat. I thought they were good but I think I will add some oats next time to give them a little more texture and also keep them from spreading so much.
