I have made these MANY times, and it is a family and friends’ favorite. The best advice I can give is to wear gloves when making these and they are not so sticky. Make sure it is cooled and I add extra peanut butter too. YUM!!
Very tasty and will make again. Like the others, I agree, you can substitute alternate ingredients for what you have on hand. I also agree, they are very sticky to handle. I ended up just making blobs instead of round balls. Great treat for summer when you don’t want to use the oven!
Very easy to make and versatile with what to add in. Could use any dried fruit or nut, also any granola flavor. Used craisins in place of cherries. Very sticky. I used a scoop instead of hand rolling them, too sticky. They were ready to eat in about 45 minutes of sitting at room temp. I store in refrigerator. They are soft and chewy. Like idea of using brown rice syrup in place of corn syrup. I guess honey would work too? I did freeze some, but thaw completely before trying to eat one. Once thawed they were fine. Will definitely make again.
I agree with putting the batter in a 9 inch pan instead of forming balls with your hands. The batter is too sticky to handle. Very tasty, I would make them again.
Not what I expected.
Very hard in texture.
Very hard in texture.
Awesome
Very tasty. I used Brown Rice syrup instead of the light corn syrup. Because they are pretty messy , I pressed all of the dough into a 9 x9 cake pan lined with parchment paper. Placed in the fridge and when cool I placed on a large cutting board and cut the dough into 1 inch pieces. These will freeze well also.
Very yummy but very sloppy to make!!
Absolutely loved these. I made these for a coworker’s birthday, then second guessing myself over not making conventional cookies (my go-to). I shouldn’t have worried. They were fantastic. My only modification was just using Craisins rather than the dried cherries and the raisins. They loved them at work, my husband inhaled the rest I left at home. Am thinking of making them again this weekend for new neighbors to say Hi.
Love these but would like to know the calorie count and protein, carbs, and fiber. My husband got a Fitbit for Father’s Day and wants to log it on his app.
