I was going to say the same thing! I don’t know what my problem is lately, but I’ve been CRAVING chewy things! The problem is that I’ve been craving chewy sweet things (specifically Starburst!), but I’m trying to cut back on sugar, so I’ve been chewing lots of gum! haha

(Except for holiday baking, of course…that doesn’t count!) :cookie: :birthday_cake: :moon_cake: :fish_cake_with_swirl:

Well you can always make these with Splenda or agave. Something like that! Because I have some chewy sugar cookies and a chewy gingerbread cookie recipe to share!
