I made these cookies. They came out looking wonderful however they tasted horrible. I followed the recipe exactly I put in a little bit honey to sweeten and nobody in my household would eat them they said they just did not taste very good.
Sorry you didn’t like them Kimba. They are a “healthy” cookie, so they aren’t going to taste as great as a regular cookie would. Maybe try some add-ins next time to enhance the flavor?
Wondering where on can find the nutrient values on recipes. Interested in the calorie count. TIA

I use this site all the time.
Could you do this with aluminum foil cups in a muffin pan?
I’ve never tried that before Tiffany, so I can’t say for sure.
Try parchment paper cups.
Would like to freeze a bunch. How long would you recommend freezing them for?
How long do you think you can you freeze them for until they go bad?
