Was looking for a versatile recipe that I could swap in ingredients based on what I had in the pantry...and this one fits the bill. Followed advice of kunfu-mama and Chef Lo and subbed applesauce for about 1/2 the butter. Also used maple syprup and brown rice syprup instead of sugar. And lastly, used a mixture of brown rice and whole grain flours. They're great, thanks!!

Don't be afraid to substitute with what you have on hand in this recipe. For instance, I didn't have enough honey, so I added a bit of corn syrup and molasses; I used 2/3 cups of all-purpose flour along with 2/3 cup whole wheat flour; I substituted golden raisins for apricots...you get the idea. These cookies still came out delish (rave reviews from my hubby and kid). And you have to admit, they are very good for you!

these cookies are delicious and very versitile. i substituted 3/4 cup of butter for applesauce and it worked great. next time i may try to substitute all the butter. i also cut down the amount of honey, i only used 1/4 cup and found that to be plenty. they are nutty, chocolatey, sweet and gooey. thanks for the great recipe! i'll definitely make them again, maybe trying different nuts and fruits!
