Molly53's Note:

So delicious! I don't really care for walnuts and the kids don't like raisins, so I used sliced almonds and dried cranberries instead! I could have eaten them all myself :)

these were pretty good and very healthy. i didnt put in all the oil but subbed some for prune puree and put chocolate chips instead of raisons. after the second cookie you get hooked. and i love that there is no flour in them. they dont rise or move much, so make it the shape you want before baking. also 25 min was WAY too long for mine. i cut it down to about 15 or less. so watch em.

I really wanted to like these, I just didn't. Maybe it was just the texture.
