These are perfect with a glass of milk. Very tasty and not really sweet. I forgot to buy walnuts yesterday so I used sunflower seeds instead, I do believe that the nuts would have been better but the seeds did fine in their stand in role. I used Splenda instead of sugar and cut the oil in half and made up the difference with unsweetened applesauce. Not really too sure how much 1 7/8 "ounces" of egg is so I used just shy of 1/4 cup of egg white. While they are firm on the outside they are soft and tender on the inside. Lastly, I don't know why 2 sheets are ask for, I did as ask expecting them to spread flat but they didn't move at all. They finished baking in the exact size and shape that they were dropped in. If you don't care for a lot of angles on your cookies smooth them before baking *wink*.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
