Reviews
I didn’t have peaches or spinach so I substituted pureed pumpkin, applesauce, a banana (with the peel) and cooked kale to equal the amount of pureed peaches and spinach requested. I doubled the recipe and added 2 cups of chocolate chips. These were DELICIOUS! MY KIDS LOVED THEM. They could be eaten as breakfast cookies too. The cookies did not spread at all so after the first batch I patted them down a little with the back of my measuring cup.
