This is a summary for bar cookies, thanks!  The reason I am avoiding regular
sugar is I get colds when I eat it, and this last cold was a humdinger - I

>>yesterday i "invented" some really delicious cookies - they were just like
>>oatmeal raisin, and i'd imagine you could make them as bars if you wanted.

i took almonds and put them in the blender till they were very fine, let's
say 1 cup, and added not quite that much butter. about a cup of shredded
coconut, a bit of vanilla, and about a tablespoon of honey. then i tossed in
an egg and a bunch of raisins, and spooned it out onto cookie sheets and
baked!

they were delicious - i can't wait to make more! if you want a sweeter
cookie, use more honey, though with the raisins, i found it just didn't
really need to be that sweet...
