Hmmm...not quite what I expected with all the other rave reviews. I found the dough to be very sticky and it produced a flat, chewy cookie that browned quickly and didn't cook very evenly. Added about 1/3 cup more of whole wheat flour before putting the 2nd batch in to bake and that helped tremendously. These are VERY sweet...and I don't usually think things are ever too sweet. But these could have done with less...maybe I'll leave the honey out next time or decrease the brown sugar. I added chocolate chips too...so I suppose that made them even sweeter!

Really tasty treat! I threw in some cranberries in there and I loved them - so did the rest of my family. Quick, easy and delish!

Wow, what a great little recipe! My brothers gobbled these up. I used a bit less salt, like Coolmom suggested, and I added 1/4 t. cinnamon and 1/2 c. each of raisins and chocolate chips. This recipe doesn't take long to make — it doesn't make very many cookies either, but that's fine, because then there aren't a bunch of leftovers to tempt me. lol. 
Yummy when eaten warm with a glass of cold milk! They got the Picky Sibling Seal of Approval. I only baked them for 12 minutes and they were done. Next time, I think I'll use 1/3 c. of the chips and raisins (1/2 c. almost seemed like too much). Thanks for a super good and relatively healthy recipe to make for my family!
