excellent. Your family won't know it is on the healthy side! You can find the flax meal in the refrig. Section.

Just leave them on the pan to cool for a while or they will mush up because they haven't had enough time to harden.
1/21/2010 09:02:47 PM Report AbuseWe made these as one of our Christmas Cookies this year (2009). Very rich and flavorful but not too sweet, a very mocha taste. Young kids did not like them but the adults all loved them. Not very difficult to make either, be sure to ready your toasted pecans ahead of time so you do not have to toast them halfway through the recipe like I did.
