    This recipe was so easy to prepare. I added 1 Tsp of water to get the mixture to stick together, and spinkeled some carob piece on top for a little crunch. So good, thank you for sharing this recipe. - 6/24/10

    I made it with almond, sunflowers seeds, dried cranberries, dates and sesame seeds, I added a tsp. of honey, and they are wonderful... My husbands sweet tooth is satisfied. Cookie sheet worked better for me, I lined it and covered it with wax paper and use rolling pin to flatten. Thanks for sharing - 4/26/13

    Wonderful! At first I didn't think it would stick together but if you keep mixing it will eventually form a ball in the food processor and will then hold together. - 2/8/13

    I will definitely make these again. I used cashews rather than walnuts (allergic). I also used dried cranberries instead of raisins because that was what I had. I did have to add a bit of water so the mixture would bind together. - 5/21/12

    I used almonds in lieu of walnuts and dried figs for the raisins. My figs were dry so I added a fourth cup of water. Tasty! - 10/5/09

    This looks amazing! But can i use a mill or blender instead? I don't have a food processor :(. - 6/28/09

    Not sure if a blender would work, since the dried fruit is pretty thick, but I bet a mill would work great!

    This is great, my son is has all sorts of allergies and this would be perfect for him. Most of the gluten free cookies I find at the store he absolutely hates, but I can't wait for him to try this :) - 5/21/09
