Ride on the sugar train! I saw 1 cup of honey and thought holy mother of sweetness honey is quite a but sweeter than sugar so I don't know how unbearable it would be had I used the full cup. I did 1\2 cup honey plus 3 tbsp brown sugar for a molasses-y flavor and the were still very very sweet. It's still not healthy to be eating so much sugar even if it is unprocessed. Other than that the cookie was good. I didn't have ground flax only whole; so to offset the binding effect I used 1 whole egg plus 1\4 cup cornstarch. I lowered the cinnamon since I'm not a big fan, and used cranberries and almonds in half the batch and the other half I used chocolate chips.
I'll probably make again and lower the honey further. It's a good starter recipe for a somewhat healthy breakfast cookie.
It's like homemade granola bars! Very tasty easy to make and mine turned out nice and chewy - hoping my kids will like them in their school lunches. I made 2 slight modifications I used two whole eggs (not just the whites) and used Sunflower Seed Butter instead of almond butter since it's all I had oh and I threw in a tablespoon or two of hemp and millet as I figured it would work will with the granola! I really like the taste of these if my kids do too I'll make them again and maybe even in the shape of a granola bar for a bigger snack portion.
These are nice and chewy, lightly sweet, and quick and easy to make. I think I'd like them with dried fruit, too.
These cookies were so dang delicious! My whole family including two toddlers were begging for more. The only change I made was using one whole egg instead of two egg whites because I only had so many on hand. Thank you so much for a healthy COOKIE option Sadie!
Kids and Hubby went crazy for these!!( and I only put one dark chocolate chip in the center of each cookie...and they were gone in less than 24 hours)! Thanks for this... now I need to go make more!
My cookies never melted down. They stayed in balls and cooked hard.
I'll be making lots of these! I do think 1 cup of honey was a bit much so I will experiment using a little less. Excellent recipe.
Yuck. These cookies did NOT turn out well. The honey was so overpowering even though I used 3/4 cup instead of the full cup. They were somehow bitter and way too sweet at the same time! I am always experimenting with healthy cookie recipes, and I have found some good ones. Rarely is there a recipe I make that I hate, but this is one of those few.
The taste was really good. They are a littke soft but tasty. Maybe its because i didnt add nuts I didnt have any. I added raisons instead of the chocolate chips. I did like the raisons in them but next time I will cut down on the honey because of the sweetness of the raisons. I added a mixed nut butter instead of the other because thats all I had. I will make again.
