  I've made these twice. Love them. I cut the butter to 1 TB, added 1/4 c applesauce, cut the honey in 1/2, added 1/4 Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, used 1 egg, 1 egg white, dried cranberries instead of apricots, graham flour. I freeze them, eat one on the way to work. Great recipe, sorry I sub'd . - 3/14/09

  I like the recipe and think that adding vanilla would bring out the other flavors a little more. Also the tip to sub Peanut butter to up the protein and lower the calories a tad. My personal battle, up protein and lower calories - 2/18/09

  Next time I will add a chopped apple instead of the raisins. Another alternative is a mashed banana!! - 11/27/07

  Add the carrots along with the dried fruit. I added 1 tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon. The texture isn't quite cookie-like, but it tastes very good, especaially the next day. Also, please don't submit a comment if you haven't actually made the recipe; that makes zero sense. - 11/12/07

  After reading about benefits of flax, I added 2 TBLS of milled flaxseed. Also, this Wisconsinite substituted dried cranberries for the apricots. I'm not crazy about all the work of making cookies, BUT I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WERE GOOD TO EAT AND GOOD FOR YOU! - 12/5/07

  My wite -Ladydi25348-made this recipe. Didn't have carrots so used zucchini and added the cinnamon and nutmeg w/o measuring. Baked a bit longer than recommended and made 31. Pretty good, very sweet and chewy. We both liked them. - 6/24/08

  I made these tonight, and they turned out very good. I read and reread the recipe, but I could not see when to add the carrots, so I added them to the egg mixture. Anyway, they are delicious, and I will rate them as such! - 1/28/10

  I wanted to try this recipe subsituting corn flour (for all purpose flour) as I have a friend who is alergic to wheat. Turned out just fine. I think I'd like to add a little brown sugar next time because the carrots tasted bitter. Also added coconut which was nice.

  I like everything in this cookie and did put them in the freezer to have on the run. I may put chopped apples in when I don't have the apricots. And I did add 2 TBSP ground flaxseed which I do to most of my goodies. - 2/18/09

  These were very good. We did not add the cinnamon or nutmeg, because they were left out of the ingredient list. We subbed raisin bran, because we did not have cheerios. I guess most any cereal will do. Nutrit. would change. We used WW flour. My Pampered chef cookie scoop made 30 perfect cookies. - 12/2/07

  I made these with 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1 Tbl butter, whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. Added 1/2C apple sauce and only 1/8C honey, and 2 Tbl flaxseed. The apricots were very flavorful! Next time I will omit the apple sauce and use full measurement of honey. - 2/5/10

  A little confused by the recipe, I made them into breakfast bars instead, which I'm sure did little for the calorie count. I was a unclear as to how much nutmeg and cinnamon to use, mine turned out a little bland. - 1/26/08

  I used whole wheat flour, I also use honey nut cheerios. I didn't have the dried fruit, but I think the honey nut cheerios made up for that missing sweetness. I am not sure how you managed to get 30 cookies, I got about a dozen. But likely I made bigger cookies? Still, Really yummy. - 1/17/11

  The recipe was slightly misleading. I substituted halfed the honey and used 1/2 cup applesauce. Used dried peaches not apricots. Use almonds/pecans instead of walnuts. Added 1tsp wheatgerm and used multigrain cheeries. Only got 24 cookies and some were really small. Overall not bad. - 1/6/08

  Great addition to a quick, healthy choice any time of day! I borrowed ideas from other comments. Added flax seed, whole wheat flour, apples, craisins, Fiber One Cinnamon Oat Crunch and for extra moisture added 1/2 cup of yogurt. Left out the walnuts, in hopes that my son likes them!

  I didn't have the fruit or nuts on hand, so I made the recipe without them. It is still tasty, and would taste extra-good dipped in peanut butter! I think if the walnuts were in there, that would give the nutty taste that's needed. Either way, good, easy-to-make recipe. :-D - 1/28/11

  This recipe was linked to Healthy Breakfasts. If a woman should have close to 60 grams of protein daily, that would call for AT LEAST 10 grams of protein at breakfast. With only slightly more than 2 grams of protein per cookie, these are woefully short as a breakfast substitute.
  OK for snack - 10/30/16

  These cookies aren't cookie sweet at all. I ended up making a powdered sugar glaze with vanilla and orange juice drizzled over the cooked cookies. My Wildbunch and DH doesn't care for them. I want to make them again but add more sweetener. I subbed sunflower seeds for nuts and dried cherries. - 12/14/15

• MRSJAS3
  

  sub zuc for carrots, any dried fruit not just apricots,cranberries,sub pnt butter for butter, cut honey in half and add 1/2 c applesauce, any nuts will do, any cereal will work add mashed banana,
  keep in freezer - 8/1/15

  Good recipe, but you left out adding carrots to the wet mixture in your directions. I brought these cookies to a 5K fund raiser and they were a hit! Very good cookie. - 4/27/15
