I gave this one three stars because it was a 50/50 for the people I served them to. I personally wasn't crazy about them but some people really liked them in the end. It must be an acquired taste - almost everyone's first reaction was "these are okay " and then they'd finish the cookie and say "they're growing on me." Half the people continued to pick them up and after three or four cookies I was hearing "you know these are pretty addictive - I think I really like them because they're just so different!" The flavor definitely evolves from the first moment you put them in your mouth to the aftertaste. I really liked the aftertaste but I didn't like the initial taste. If I make these again I think I'll decrease the sugar by about 2 tablespoons and see how that goes. Read More

This recipe caught my attention because it was so different. The taste makes it a keeper! It was quick to make and while the taste is not your typical cookie taste-it's different and I think better. Wish I could describe the taste for you but I think this is one cookie recipe that if you think it sounds good you should follow your hunch and give it a try. Enjoy. Read More
