I made the recipe using exact ingredients, all spelt flour and honey for sweetener. The cookies came out delicious, albeit a little dense. Mine took 15 minutes to cook to perfection. The aroma filled the house :)

This sounds so good.  I didn’t have chocolate chips, so I added cocoa powder and a little less flour instead. They are in the over right now; can’t wait to taste!

I just made these.  I don’t think I will make them again with whole wheat flour – the taste is too overwhelming.  Plus I did have to add more oil.  But I do like the idea of not using egg or baking powder like my old recipe.  :-)

After experimenting with my first batch…in which I used half whole wheat flour and half unbleached all-purpose flour (instead of the pastry flour which I did not have on hand), I found rolling into balls and baking 12 minutes worked great.  When I flattened the balls they baked too quickly and ended up over baked and dry.  Living in CO I also added at least 1/4 cup+ of flour.  To me they tasted best the day after baking and every day thereafter were a great post-lunch treat for my bag lunches at work…YUM!

Next time I make them, I was going to use raisins instead of cc. But they need something in them to sweeten them, so I wouldn’t eliminate them otherwise.

These were tasty but very dry.  I also found they only took about 12 minutes to cook.  I thought I’d try again adding more coconut oil and honey.

These turned out super yummy!  My husband even liked them (he normally doesn’t care for whole wheat flour and “healthier” cookies).  I made mine into 1 1/2 inch balls and found that cooking for 12 minutes was the right time for me and my oven.  Will definitely make again!

Diane: Did you use all the correct measurements? Other people have made this and had it turn out great. Try adding more flour if it’s liquidy.

Sue: Nope! This is an egg free recipe; the water and syrup makes up for it.
