I’ve just discovered that I have a gluten intolerance. The past week or so I have been craving a sweet treat and these cookies were the perfect solution! Thank you for your wonderful clean recipes. Keep ‘em coming!

Hi Susanna, The consistency of any of those nut/seed butters should work just fine with these cookies, but I can’t say which is going to taste good. My concerns would be that the sunflower butter will yield a green cookie (good for cookie monster, but not for the rest of us!). Cashew or almond butter may give you a more appealing taste, if you can do tree nuts. You’re trying to achieve a fairly stiff batter, so be prepared to add a touch more flour if they seem too runny (I would expect this to be the case if you use tahini).

I used to use agave and do like its taste, but started questioning whether it was as “clean ” as I thought it was when I started reading exposes that suggested otherwise. Dr. Mercola has been the most outspoken on this subject. Here’s a link to one of his essays that draws questions about agave.

(When you click this link, it will ask you to subscribe, but you can scroll down and access most of the article w/o doing so!) Since I know where maple syrup comes from, it’s minimally processed and its local, I stick with that (plus it’s yummy!).

Eat clean live well!

We have a strong peanut allergy in the family, instead of pb, do you think I can subsitute tahini or sunflower butter or maybe a combination of the two? Although we like maple syrup; we’ve been using agave more and notice it’s not an ingredient in your cookbooks and wanted to get your opinion (really enjoy reading the commentary in your cookbooks). Thank you!!

I made them but decided to make bars instead of cookies. I figured I’d need to cook them a little longer but I think I overbaked them. Yet they were still delicious!

Enjoy them, Brette! I’ve been busily working on book 3 and have just finished what instantly became a family favorite…Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Looking forward to sharing that recipe with you soon!

Terry, these cookies are AMAZING! I have been making your Banana Chocolate Chip cookies for my clients (I’m in sales) and now I am definitely going to make these as well! Just enjoyed my first batch this afternoon…

Thank you, Terry, for creating this delicious cookie. As someone who is allergic to cane sugar, I love finding recipes that use natural sweeteners. What a treat!
