In reply to Ruth. I rolled some in granulated sugar before baking to give just a tad more sweetness.

In reply to Ruth. Hi Ruth! they should not bland but also they are not too sweet. Given that they will be filled with very sweet concoctions, the cookies themselves are not too sweet.

Did anyone find these to be very”not sweet “? I thought I didn’t use enough powdered sugar but that’s not it… should they be bland?

In reply to Kelsey Moran. Kelsey, it is possible that you pushed into the cookies a little too much when creating the space for the filling. these happened to a few of mine that I made this week.

In reply to Kerry. Hi Kerry, the cornstarch does make the cookies very soft and gives it that melt-in-your-mouth texture. However, the cookies should not crumble upon touching. U need to let them cool completely on the baking sheet to hold form. After that, you can easily move them. I did find also that pushing too hard in the middle to create the space for the filling crushed some of mine I made recently.
