Made these cookies yesterday and they are very nice, though a bit on the sweet end for me. Is there any chance to reduce the amount of sugar? Second question, I weight ingredients strictly to recipe with the only change that I used Gold Medal Whole Wheat flour instead of KAF (sadly not available here). I used cranberries, chocolate chips and almonds in equal amounts for the 'filling'. The result was that the cookies look more like clusters, i.e. they didn't melt down to the desired shape. I live in a subtropical climate if that makes any difference. Yes you could cut back on the sugar slightly. I would cut back the white sugar. Try adding just 2 tablespoons of white sugar. I think I would also flatten the cookies out on the pan before you baked them. Keep asking your store manager for the whole wheat flour. it is becoming more widely available due to popular demand.
