*Keep in mind that the baked cookies should be placed in a container right after cooling. The reason is that they will become really soft if they contact with the water in the air for a period of time! :)
*Since I reduced the amount of sugar by 30g, I HIGHLY recommended you to finish the food as soon as possible! The reason is that reducing the amount of sugar will decrease its shelf time. However, sharing is caring and that these cookies are so delectable that I believe it won't take you too much time to finish!
