LOVE these! No cloves on hand, so omitted these. Used whole spelt flour instead of all-purpose, Sucanat instead of white and brown sugars, soaked my raisins, and OH MY!!! LOVE these!!! BF and I ate 3 while they were still warm! I made 22 large cookies instead of 36 as recipe said, and baked them for 10 minutes. As you slide them off the cookie sheet unto cooking rack, they look quite smooshy and foldy, but they cool nicely and chewily :)

Loved it. Made a number of substitutions - mostly for organic alternatives. Flour for whole-grain organic spelt, sugar for Sucanat (using 3/4 of original amount). Butter and egg organic too. Used 1.5 cups of frozen blueberries, mixing some in the mix, and using the rest as a middle layer. Agree there's too much crumbly topping. And agree that the topping is lovely halfway through. Next time I'll make a third of it, and will again layer it. Even with whole-grain spelt substituted, in one-for-one ratio to white flour, it was still amazingly moist and delicious. Will DEFINITELY make again!

Fantastic! I make it in a bundt pan, and sometimes either sprinkle icing sugar on it when it's cooled, or serve with raspberry coulis. MMM!
