They look good! My suggestion for making them a bit healthier — cut out the animal products (eggs, butter) to reduce the saturated fat and reduce their impact on the environment. Vegan cookies are delicious and healthy. I have lots of favorite recipes but I would always start with anarchist cookies (they’re anarchist because they’re free): http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Anarchist_Oatmeal_Cookies

Thanks for the recipe, Leo! It looks delicious. I’m definitely going to try it.
I often substitute coconut oil for butter in the second recipe. (I usually substitute it at 3/4 c. coconut oil to 1 c. butter.) It gives the cookies a nice coconut flavor.
For anyone who wants to replace the egg in the first recipe, here’s a simple egg replacement:
1 egg = 1 tbs. baking powder + 1 tsp. baking soda + 1 tbs. flour + 2 tbs. water, Whisk together until smooth.
My little ones adore sweets, and I do admit – it must be genetically passed down from me.
I often tell my kids why it’s good to stay away from sugary foods, explaining about the damage that too much sugar can do to teeth, digestion, etc. They’re pretty sharp, and pick up the message quickly. Now my five year old often says, “Mama, I’ve almost stopped liking cookies. I almost don’t want them at all anymore!”. My three-year-old chimes in with “Yeah, they almost don’t taste very good…”. Well, until those almosts become reality (which won’t be soon, something tell me), we’ll be trying out your recipes – thank you!

Thank you for these. I always forget about Laurels Kitchen when preparing to make sweets.
Those recipes sound really good!
Have you ever substituted other kinds of nut butters for peanut butter in the first recipe? (My significant other is allergic to peanuts.)
Yes! I’ve substituted almond butter, and they’re also really good.

Leo, that recipe sounds delicious! I think I might add some vegan chocolate chips to it when I make it.
Yum … even better!
