    The first time I was making them the dough came out thin and gooey. I thought it was because there was too much egg, because it was an extra large egg. So I put in a little at a time instead of just tossing the whole thing in there. And I guess doing it gradually was what I needed to do cause it came out thick the second time. But don’t try to take them off the cookie sheet while they’re hot cause they’ll fall apart. (At least they did for me)

    Hi, RBear. This recipe and others like it suggest coconut SUGAR as an alternative sweetener, and very few of the official (non-member) recipes use coconut flour as a mandatory ingredient, so no worries. If you are looking for simple recipes, you can type a similar term in the SEARCH box in on the Recipes page – terms such as “Simple,” “Basic,” “Homemade,” “Classic,” etc. may bring up what you are looking for.

    Hi to all asking about xylitol and other challenges. Yes, xylitol is a sweetener – it is a natural plant extract that has 2/3 the calories of sugar with 25% the influence on blood sugar, and nearly the same taste.
    The recipe has been upgraded to feature options of sugars that have some health advantages and tastes and textures that may be better accepted. These sugars lend more of a brown sugar taste.

    OMG. I realize I am new to all of this health food stuff, however, these cookies were horrible. It’s as if there are missing ingredients. If I get brave enough to try it again, I will add a cup of rice flour. Very disappointing…only made 2 dozen very small overly brown soggy cookies. 🙁

    I purchased xylitol on line at nuts.com I also found SWG flour and other products required for various recipes on this site. I had been looking for awhile and their prices were very reasonable. Not like other sites that were so expensive. If anyone knows of a better site please share.
