I was looking for some simple dairy free cookies and these are definitely it. They have a nice texture and flavour, although I did use macadamia nuts as I didn't have any walnuts in the cupboard. DH was a bit dubious because they were dairy free but he took a bite and said "these are good", so I'd make these again. Thanks for the recipe.

This was a really great base recipe. My daughter is allergic to milk. I did modify the recipe by adding 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and used pecans and raisins. I finally used an egg replacer for the egg. I was out of eggs, but I am excited to try the recipe again, using the exact ingredients. Anyways, for anyone that wants to know, it works as a vegan recipe too.
