SO HOW'D IT GO?
I LOVE THESE COOKIES! Seriously, these may be my favorite cookies ever, and I have made and tasted a lot of cookies. Mine took the full 15 minutes, but my oven is wonky. My husband said they were perfect as is and I totally agree. Thank you for this recipe :)>>>
This recipe is killer. It is so natural and so perfectly salty and sweet....I am in love, needless to say!
this recipe is really good. not to sweet, either. i baked one batch at 9 minutes, one at 10. i think the 10 minutes worked very well.
these cookies are fantastic. i used pecans instead of walnuts. i ground them with a nut mill and ended up adding a few splashes of milk because i was afraid it was too dry. they don't seem like traditional cookies, in terms of texture, ... mine seemed a bit granola bar-ish... but the maple and pecan flavors are mmmm they are good.
i followed the recipe exactly except i subbed pecans for walnuts. still amazing. ALL my friends loved them so i made them again with some vegan chocolate powder. fantastic yet again.
This recipe was good. I cut down on the walnuts and increased the flour. I was hoping for more "maple" flavor, but I suppose the flour cut some flavor. My first batch (I bake in a convection toaster oven) was in for 10 minutes, and the second batch turned out much better at only 8 minutes. So, don't over bake. These cookies don't spread while baking, so don't worry about getting them too close on the baking sheet. I have a picture of them to the right of the recipe. The embroidered cloth was done by my 91 year old mother-in-law. And, yes, that is soy milk. Milk and cookies...yummy!!
Man, I'm going to try these. Omega-3 is supposed to help depression. Just reading this recipe lifted my spirits!
