Olive oil was rancid, so subbed coconut oil. This recipe is pretty good! Will make again! Thanks!

My whole family loved these. I had a monster cookie recipe that this will now replace, as this is much healthier and just as delicious!

I’m looking forward to making these. What can I use as substitutes for the white and brown sugar? Thanks!

Hi Amy -- They are so good!! I'm not sure what your goals are for substituting the sugar and whether you're trying to avoid sugar altogether, or simply want to use a different sweetener. Honey would certainly work, as would maple syrup. If you're trying to avoid sugar altogether, you could certainly use something like stevia. I haven't tested any of these substitutes, so you would need to experiment a bit with quantities. Keep in mind that both maple syrup and stevia are sweeter than white sugar! Your other option (again, depending on your goals), would be to use fruit. Applesauce often works nicely in baking recipes, or you might try soaking and then blending up some dates with a small amount of water. Let us know what you try!
