Tried this recipe and really didn't see anything fantastic in it. The cookies were very hard and there was little flavor.

Signed up the review this recipe. Was craving cookies but didn't have eggs. I was originally looking for peanut butter cookies, but this one stood out. It turned out great (although I did modify it a bit). I added about a tsp of chai mix. I replaced 1 tbsp of water with vanilla and milk, and I used coconut oil for the 2 tbs of oil. I cooked them at 350 degrees (was wary of cooking too high, and another person said they used a lower temp) for 12 minutes. They come out a little gooey in the middle but firm up nicely.

Something I want to try is adding banana flavoring to the mix. I think it would be a great compliment to these cookies.

Very good cookies! My first tray came out a little too done on the bottom, but that's because of issues with my oven. The next tray was perfect!
