I made these last weekend and they are delicious! I made half the batch the weekend before last and kept the other half of the dough in the freezer. I was able to just take the rest of the dough out and let it sit for a few minutes then pop them into the oven this weekend for a quick treat! I used half Agave and half stevia powder and they were perfectly sweet!
Thank you so much for all of your fantastic recipes, Elana! You have helped me feel as though I can eat like a ‘real person’ again! :)
I added 1 tablespoon each of orange peel and orange extract, doubled the pecans, and substituted 2 tablespoons of the agave with brown sugar. Sprinkled lightly with cinnamon sugar. This is such a yummy basic recipe that lends itself to all kinds of possibilities, depending on what ingredients are on hand. Thank you for your great inspirations.
wow! I had my doubts about this cookie, but I was soooo wrong. delicious. thanks so much.
