Cookie recipe w/o dates or raisins

[tvillemom]

My hubby has been trying my RAW stuff lately. He is really trying to loose weight, been working out and all that stuff. HE is on more of a hi-protien diet :eek: (that's me actually barfing), but he has stopped eating cookies and such. I know he would love me to make him a "sweet", but he doesn't like dates or raisins, does anyone have a tried and true (or anything that actually sounds good) recipe for a cookie?

You could sweeten with agave nectar or honey? How about dried apricots, figs, mangos? Mesquite powder is also quite sweet and tastes like carmel.

Happy 'baking',
