The original recipe called for forming a ball and rolling it in sugar before you bake them, I thought it had enough sugar but you may want to taste it first to accommodate your taste. Also I am going to try next time to only use 1 tsp of vanilla extract and add 1 tsp of pumpkin spice extract which I found in the grocery store last weekend.
