I made these for my kids this morning for a healthy snack. I didn't care for them, but the kids LOVED them! I used brown sugar instead of splenda to sweeten them, and added dried persimmon since I had it handy. I also reduced the cinnamon to 1 tsp and used pecans in place of almonds. I'll make them occasionally as a snack, but they won't be a favorite.

I did not care for these cookies at all, but my 2 grandkids ages 7 and 10 really liked them. I added about a 1/2 cup of slenda and only a good shake of cinnamon as I thought 1 tablespoon would be to much and they are pretty cinnamony. I don't think i will be making these again. Sorry.
