I don't like soft, gooey cookies so I came across this recipe in a Google search. These turned out great! I lowered the butter to 1/2 c and added 1/2 applesauce and 1/4 cup coconut oil. I used sliced almonds since I had plenty of that on hand. Raised the oven temp to 350 and used whole wheat and white flour. Reduced chocolate chips to 1 cup. I was surprised that I didn't need any egg! I made the cookies small, and got 52 cookies out of this recipe! Mahalo HECO!
