 Beth (Georgia) says:
I made these cookies just last night and everyone LOVED them. The only change to the recipe I had was I didn't have dark corn syrup so I used light and it turned out perfect. Also in the process I made my batter and put it in to chill for only one hour. By the time I made my topping and put it into chill for thirty minutes and removed it to form my balls it was time to shape my cookies and put them on to bake. GREAT recipe!!
