Let us know if you have success with either of them!<BR/><BR/>Lisa, wholesome cookies and cakes are the holy grail on my slow workday afternoons. :-D<BR/><BR/>Frances, if you're not big on the chocolate/banana pairing then you might prefer these without the banana chunks stirred through - just use the mashed ones in the dough for sweetness and binding. :-)<BR/><BR/>Johanna, you're right about copha being hydrogenated - I bought it at the supermarket while Allergy Block was closed but have since spotted coconut oil on their shelves. Either way, it seems to be totally overwhelmed by the peanut butter here so I don't think I'll bother with coconut anything next time!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-50798427194475054712008-12-04T22:07:00.000+11:002008-12-04T22:07:00.000+11:00These look like my sort of cookies and the name ma...These look like my sort of cookies and the name makes them sound even more fun! <BR/><BR/>I think coconut oil is meant to have good healthy qualities but I am not sure that copha does as it is mostly hydrogenated fats - I think allergy block has coconut oil but I am just spouting stuff I have read elsewhere and probably regurgitating it in a jumbled up way! I'd probably just use butter or margarine.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-77395057753577284742008-12-04T13:58:00.000+11:002008-12-04T13:58:00.000+11:00these look great! i am not 100% sure about the ch...these look great! i am not 100% sure about the choc-banana combo (almost blasphemous, i know) but this recipe, with its good dose of peanut butter, makes me want to try it! great idea, and I too love the idea of a cookie that has some balance between wholesomeness and decadence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-78487665938037405482008-12-04T13:07:00.000+11:002008-12-04T13:07:00.000+11:00Yum, and I love the idea of justifying my cookie s...Yum, and I love the idea of justifying my cookie snackage as being 'wholesome' too!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360941729345573146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-3257116790463195102008-12-04T12:33:00.000+11:002008-12-04T12:33:00.000+11:00Interesting recipe Cindy and I like the way you've...Interesting recipe Cindy and I like the way you've discussed the changes you made. I wonder if tahini would work instead of the copha? Or just more peanut butter? I'm going to give these a try-out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
