It’s good, it’s useful (as usual), actionable and concise. Love it.

I’m wondering if you’ve tried the recipe with less sugar? I don’t like my cookies too sweet and am thinking about cutting at least half the sugar..just wanted to know if anyone else had tried it and liked the result.

Saturated fat is wrongfully blamed for a lot of our ilnesses everything from heart disease to cancer tumors. The more I analyzed coconut oil and how very good it was for well being the more I grew to become convinced that my vegetarian diet that I had been using was a problem. It all makes sense to me now about how I was deceived into believing the hoopla about saturated fat, cholesterol and diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Thank you for this recipe! These cookies are great! They didn’t flatten as did the Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies I made, replacing the butter with coconut oil. The ground nuts must be the trick to keeping them high. I used walnuts in place of the almonds.

Agreed! Coconut oil is GREAT for baking as well as a million other uses. If you can’t find it locally, order it online at http://www.hopesharvestcoconutoil.com/ . You may want to try Real Salt, too! http://www.realsalt.com I buy both products from the local retailer where I purchase wheat for home milling and other baking/cooking supplies. The owner is a biochemistry major and very well-versed on nutrition and wellness!

You posted this recipes a long time ago, but I just stumbled across it. I found your site through the Hungry Housewife. I was wondering if you tried the Coconut oil in any of your brownie recipes? Do you know how much it cuts the fat and calories? I’m new to the blogging world, but your site will remain a Favorite. Great pictures and Recipes. Keep up the Good Work!!!

Could you email me and let me know if you’ve ever taken out the ground pecans? My daughter is allergic. Also, if I made some (obviously not for her!) where do you get ground pecans, or do you just put them in the food processor? Thanks! joenlarson@qwest.net

FYI: Just made the cookies and the ground nuts part must be essential because I just added mine chopped and the cookies turned out terrible! They spread out really thin, centers didn't set and they were pretty greasy. Just follow the directions, ground nuts must act as another binder/stabilizer.

I too had a prominent coconut taste which I was excited about.

I had just a bit of dough left and added more flour and they turned out as they should. So if you don't want ground nuts add more flour! They were very tasty!

I just started visiting your site. I can’t wait to try some of these recipes. Just so you know – coconut oil may be better than butter but it’s REALLY high in saturated fat…
Keep up the good work!
