Molasses Carob Chip Cookies image

A rich-tasting natural alternative to the usual peanut-butter chocolate chip cookie, this recipe calls for natural sweeteners and whole grains in place of refined white flour and white sugar. You'll find these ingredients in the natural food aisle of large grocery stores or your local health food store, and buy organic wherever possible. YOU are worth the effort to collect these ingredients and try this cookie! Substitute cashews or peanuts for almonds, if desired.

These cookies are delicious, but they are a bit time-consuming to make. The dough is sticky and difficult to handle, and the cookies need to be chilled for at least 30 minutes before baking.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by about 1/4 cup.
