  1. These cookies are truly perfect right out of the oven! I was a little scared that the oatmeal might make it not taste good. I was wrong they blend in perfectly. I don't feel as guilty eating this healthier version of a classic cookie. The only thing I would change on the recipe is less sugar. To me the cookie is to sweet but other then that its perfect. Thanks for the new keeper recipe! :)
     
  2. Wonderful! I used regular raw sugar in place of sucanat, I didn't add the almonds and I used a chopped up toblerone bar for the chocolate. My family took a bite and loved them, then they gave me a funny look when I told them they were whole wheat. Crispy and chewy, the flavor of the whole wheat gives them a nutty taste.
     
  3. Delicious! After buying some sucanat in bulk, I was searching for some good recipes to use it in. This cookie recipe was very moist and chewy. I have not tried it with the chocolate/caramel swirled morsels, but I imagine it would be good as well. I used only about a cup of semi-sweet chocloate chips, which was enough for us ... especially when I push a few of the chips onto the top of each cookie before baking them. Probably would be great with raisins too. We've been trying to cook/eat less processed foods and use more whole grains, so it's been fun to have these, somewhat guilt-free, cookies around the house. They're especially tasty fresh out of the oven. :-)
     
  4. Amazing, absolutely wonderful cookie. The texture is great, I loved the use of the hard whole wheat flour, it's so suitably noticeable which makes the cookie unique. I also used a buckwheat honey which is a little stronger in flavor, and it created a richer taste along side the sucnat. These are truly perfect chocolate chip cookies! Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in to create this recipe, these cookies will be enjoyed again and again.
     
  5. My family loved these cookies.... my daughter said "wow, these do not even taste healthy."
