These were just very delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and chose pecan for my nuts. For those people who don't like the taste of whole wheat, I must tell you that you cannot taste it at all. I will definitely make them again.

they are more like little cakes than cookies! very soft and chewy and very very moist and full of taste! I put dry sweet fruit mix like coconut, mango, papaya, banana, pineapple and so on and they comes a little to much sweet, so next time I will reduce sugare depending on the fruit mix I put into..When cooled they have a wonderful crunchy surface but soft and chew inside. Time and temperature are perfect. Not for breakfast, better for tea o coffee time!

This has to be the easiest cookie recipe I have tried. I adore fruit cake but dont want to wait to eat it so this is a perfect recipe for me. I followed it exactly. The dried fruit mix had the peel included so I used 1 cup of mix and did not add the 1/2 cup peel called for and my chopped nuts were pecans. Even cook time was right on. Thanks Tuula

Made these into 10 mini loaves. Also made some changes: used about 2 tbsp. each of honey and molasses in place of sugar, added about 1/4 cup canned pumpkin; added nutmeg and cloves; used raisins, prunes, dried apple, dried pear, dried apricots, cranberries, walnuts, and almonds as filler; added some wheat germ; sprinkled with sifted powdered sugar. The first day they tasted just OK, but I put them in the fridge and the next few days they tasted better and better. Very dense and chewy. Next time I might try added a bit of almond liquor.

Finally a low fat cookie that actually tastes good! I made about 30 medium sized cookies, and added some wheat germ when I ran out of whole wheat flour. I also reduced the sugar to 2/3 cup and the sweetness was perfect. Just make sure to watch carefully as they cook, because even if they don't look done on top, they may be burning on the bottom!

these cookies truly are delicious! and nutritious, I'm sure. I used honey as a substitute for sugar. Also, I added 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries because I didn't have dates, and that made the cookie very juicy, fragrant, and irresistible.

These were so good!! I made them as a cookie. I didn't have much dried fruit on hand, but used raisins, a dried strawberry fruit bar, and some cut-up marshmallow. I also added a half cup of oats for more filler. I realized I was out of ginger, but added the nutmeg/cloves like the other reviewer suggested. These almost had a molasses taste to them. I will make again. Wonder if there is a way to cut down on the sugar, though, without sacrificing too much flavor. Delicious!
