For a sweeter cookie, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Feel free to substitute other nuts or seeds for the walnuts. Chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or raisins make a great addition. Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a smoother cookie, use a blender or food processor to combine the wet ingredients.
