About three months ago, I gave up processed sugar, among many other things. If you regularly enjoy commercially made sugary foods, these cookies are probably not for you. These have enough fructose / natural sugar to satisfy my cravings, without sending me over the caloric edge.
The secret of this recipe is using the ingredients you like the best. I have made variations of this recipe with raisins, dried apricots, and dried cherries. Sub the honey for a different type of sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave sweetener to make this recipe vegan.
