    1. Hi Zoe! I think it would be totally healthy if not for the sugar. Could have substituted with honey instead, don't you think?

    1. Coconut sugar looks similar to palm sugar. It is made from the sap of coconut palm flower bud.

  8. Hi Veronica, yesterday I had problem in posting my latest recipe. In fact, the problem is like what you experienced b4. It was posted successfully but not showing up on other friends' blogs. I deleted the post & redo still couldn't see it. After a few hours only it popped up. I also didn't change anything. Anyway, love the pictures that you had taken for these crunchy-looking cookies.

  11. Red, orange, white, brown goodies nicely packed in wholesome cookies. Better than any energy bars in the stores.

  12. I too have a fear of adding vegetables or fruits into cookies, I am afraid the cookies will turn soft and soggy! Glad to know they are still crunchy!
