These cookies are great on so many levels! I used 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 whole wheat, and added about 1/4 tsp cinnamon based on andypandy's suggestion. Hubby and niece love these!<br/><br/>I love sending these to school with my niece, I know how important protein and healthy foods are for learning!Reply

Oh my gosh, these cookies were surprisingly good. Don't laugh I had 1 cup of navy beans left over from recipe #55796 Healthy Bean & Kale Soup and I went on a hunt to find a recipe that wasn't soup or baked beans. This was the winner! I followed the recipe as stated substituting with Splenda Brown Sugar, 1/2 carob chips and 1/2 raisins. Super easy to make, baked them for 12 minutes at 375 for golden brown cookies.Reply

If you're looking for a healthy snack, these are really good. I made them for my 1 year old baby who is refusing to eat protein. These cookies did the trick. I made some changes so that they would be even healthier for a baby- 1/2c sugar, 3/4c whole wheat flour, 1c all-purpose flour, and deleted the chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing!Reply
