Admittedly, I was skeptical when I decided to make these cookies... health nut cookies? What was I thinking? Holy yum! These were SO good - and even the parrots kept begging for more and fighting over their piece (and they have very discerning pallets!) Great recipe - I used "mystery butter" (almond/cashew butter) instead of the sesame butter, and peanut butter chips instead of the chocolate. Thanks for sharing!! Made for PAC Spring '09.

These are totally awesome- like jazzed-up chocolate chip cookies. I have to disagree with the last reviewer; if one follows the directions to drop the dough by tablespoons, it makes a perfect batch of 18. Small-ish but luscious cookies. (Oh, and I veganized them with dairy-free margarine and egg replacer.) I can't wait to try them with sunflower seed butter; as it is, almond butter works great. So glad I tagged! Thanks for posting!

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
