These cookies are amazing! They're full of flavour, moist and chewy (underbake them ever so slightly to get a chewy texture, if that's your preference). Looking at the nutritional information, they actually are healthy (well, relative to some other cookies you may be snacking on!). They are delicious - hard to believe they don't have twice the amount of calories and fat indicated here - thank goodness!

I have been looking for a healthier cookie recipe which contained dried fruit and flaxseed. These are fabulous. Lots of texture and layered with flavor. After I ran out of dried cranberries, I substituted dried cherries.......great as well.
