These turned out very yummy. I highly recommend them. The only thing I altered in the recipe was that I left out the almonds (I don't eat nuts), and I was baking other types of cookies at the same time at a slightly higher temp, so these only took about 12 minutes to bake. Everyone enjoyed them. Thanks for posting. (Made for "Alphabet Soup" tag) -
I had trouble with the directions on this recipe (Step 2) in which I didn't understand what was the superior grill. However it made a yummy school box and after school snack for my daughter. I discarded the almonds (to make it school friendly) and added white chocolate instead, otherwise I kept to the recipe. I cooked them in a 180oC oven for 10 minutes. The first batch cooked to much for 16 minutes. Little Miss (DD) loved them. Thanks Boomette for posting a great recipe. -
Made these "low-fat" by using applesauce instead of the butter and they came out great! When I printed out the recipe and saw the fat content, I had to come up with a solution! Cookies are super moist with a slight cake sensation to them, switch out the butter and enjoy MORE of these yummy cookies guilt free!:) I also sub'd in walnuts instead of almonds. I think I'll try pumpkin sause next! -
Really good cookies! I must fess up, though... I diverted from the recipe because I had it in my head that these cookies contained white chocolate chips, so when I realized they didn't, I went ahead and added a cup of them, because I had my mind set on it! They turned out wonderful - not too sweet, with a delicious flavour combination. I'll definately make this again!! Thanks for posting this recipe, Boomette! Made for Zaar Stars.
