These are a thick soft not overly sweet whole grain cookies. I experimented with this recipe until my family approved and devoured these scrumptious cookies. These never last long in my house - After 2-3 days these usually vanish from the cookie jar. Great for grabbing a couple and running out the door to work, etc. My 2 sons are grown men who both work full time jobs so I feel like I'm providing whole grain treats much healthier than pre-packaged baked goods.
