I modified this ever so slightly (Smart Balance instead of shortening, Egg beater instead of a real egg, and some chopped cashews instead) and it was just terrific! Thanks!

Yummy! These cookies have been unreviewed for too long! Nice texture, they stay chewy and flexible even when cool. I made a couple of subs, but am giving stars anyway, since I don't believe they changed the basic nature of the recipe. Used butter instead of shortening and chocolate soy nut butter that has been sitting in my pantry looking to be used. Didn't flatten the cookies or top with soybeans, just because my crowd won't eat nuts. Although mine had a mild chocolate flavor, I think the regular version would be great as well. A sweet treat with a cup of coffee! Thanks, Kree, for sharing the recipe!
