I finally got my hands on some coconut flour and found this recipe for my first experiment. They were very easy to make, so I doubled the recipe for a potluck (sorry I forgot to count yield but there were plenty) and substituted mini chocolate chips for the dried cranberries and pistachios. My daughter loved the way they stayed chewy, my son didn't care for the texture and our friend who is on a GF diet thought they were great. I do want to note that "rich" in the description doesn't mean "overly sweet" as some authors use the term, but (except for my husband who has a sweet tooth) we prefer flavor over sweet. -
