i made these, i didn't like them. they are good if you are looking for something to have around that you will not eat compulsively. i wanted to find a use for the pomegranate molasses, and the recipe seems great and easy, and it was easy. but i felt i was just eating butter. the flavor was ... eh. and some hours later even that was not so good. that said, i'm sure this wonderful ingredient has lots of uses - on citrusy things and in pies of all sorts, cheese cake swirls. maybe sandwich cookies too, but i don't see it in the capacity it was used in this recipe. but it is totally easy so don't let me stop you.

Found this recipe while looking for uses for this new (to me) molasses. Really good- intense jelly-like flavor. Next time I'll use peanuts instead of pine nuts and have little peanut butter/jelly cookies. Nice texture. Unlikely we'll have them long enough to see if they keep for a week without going stale.

I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
