These are really great! pre-made cashew butter worked really well. These are not sweet, the way we like it. Thanks!

Reviewed on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 by iLoveMaitreya I've made these cookies a couple of times now, and really appreciate the tip for trying different nuts for the nut-butter portion. I tried using sucanat with this recipe instead of turbinado, and poured in a little honey for good measure. I thought it was interesting all the comments about using honey. If you're vegan, stick with the sucanat or turbinado. And 1Tb ground flax with 3Tb water will replace 1 egg. I think if you're not used to the unsweetened carob and over compensate with the honey it really won't be good. I couldn't rate this less then 4 stars!

I used blackstrap molasses and it made a really nice molasses flavor - DH thought it overpowered the carob though. I didn't have coconut, so made without, and I used honey instead of sugar. Next time I think I'll add some vanilla, because every drop cookie should have it, and use all honey instead of sugar and molasses. I also used an estra egg, since we like more cakey cookies. 7 minutes was perfect bake time.

I really didn't like these. I love carob and molasses but these cookies did not live up to my expectation. My boyfriend (who eats anything) didn't like them at all, so I know that it wasn't just me. I followed the recipe exactly except I substituted honey for the sugar. Maybe that was the problem? They were kinda bitter at the same time being sickly sweet. I also thought the 1/2 cup of butter overrides any potential health benefit. I rarely rate anything bad, but I did not care for these. Will not make again.

My whole family loved these. The only thing I did was sweeten it more to our taste (unforturnately, I did not keep track of this). My husband commented that they tasted similar to brownies. Next time I will add half a cup of chopped nuts when I add the carob chips. Great healthy cookies! Thank you!

I've made this a couple of times and also tried using all honey, 3 packets of stevia, and walnuts instead of almonds. Prefer 1-1/2 cups of carob chips. This is a great cookie!

Instead of the sugar I used honey and so had to add extra flour to make up for the moisture the the honey adds. I also used walnuts instead of almonds, though I imagine that most any nut would work depending on taste. I also left out the coconut. I would like them to be just a little sweeter next time, but overall a wonderful cookie.
