Notes
Tracey's Notes ~ I did test a batch with 1/2 cup of organic brown sugar and the cookies turned out to be a bit thicker and chewy, while the whole cane sugar makes a larger, crisper cookie.
Egg-Free option ~ I've also tested it with Ener-G egg replacer (my husband is allergic to eggs) and they're great too.
With the raisin and coconut, it was almost like a breakfast cookie. Not too sweet and filling.
