Made these last night and they tasted very nice. Like a mellow spice cookie. This afternoon I drzzled them with chocolate and that took them right over the top. Very good for something healthy.

These cookies are pretty much my new favorite now. I used dried chopped dates as the fruit and it turned out really well.

These cookies were amazing for a healthier cookie. I used sweetened coconut, since I couldn't find unsweetened, and I think I will reduce the sugar if I make it again with sweetened coconut. My only suggestion is to add some nuts to it to give them a crunch. I may even make this recipe again (and try to reduce the fat and sugar some to keep with me at work for a mid-day snack. Great recipe!

These are AWESOME. I used regular wheat flour and sweetened coconut because that's what I had but it didn't seem to hurt them at all. We've already gone through a dozen! The perfect amount of sweet and very filling!

First, prefer the measuring of weight vs volume, easier and more accurate. Second, very good, worth the trouble of preparing lentil puree. Very light and not too sweet, so maybe that's why I keep eating them. Used dried cranberry, almonds, and chopped dried mango. Good for on-the-go snacks for sure.

I changed the recipe to make it a little more healthy.I substituted real butter with smart balance margarine and a half cup of the flour with a half cup of ground walnuts.I used raisins for the dried fruit because they are high in iron content.white whole wheat flour is also a lot easier to work with than regular whole wheat.these cookies make a great on the go breakfast.

Loved this recipe! Gave it to a bunch of college students without telling them what they were they devoured them. When wee told them the recipe (someone asked for it they couldn't believe it. We substituted chocolate chips for the dried fruit and coconut. We did learn that the smell of the lentils cooking can empty the house.

With this being a healthy cookie, I gave it a 5-star rating; it's about as good as a healthy cookie can taste.

I used 1 cup of dried mango and 1 cup of hand chopped almonds. I only had sweetened coconut. I didn't alter the amount of sugar to compensate and the recipe still came out great.

I can't wait to hand these around tonight. No one will ever guess lentils are in here. Mine look just like the picture. I did the recipe just as is with dried cranberries & apricots for the fruit and it gave it bits of colors. They do taste cake like and I think they are delicious. It was a treat for someone who has been giving up processed foods. I have always been a fan of oatmeal raisin and this is such a fun update. Thank you Alton!

Better than I thought they would be. Almost have a scone texture to them. Not super difficult to make, but I don't know if I would classify them as "easy" either.
