We discovered these cookies in our search for relatively heart healthy
baked treats. They are relatively low in sugar... for cookies, and they
use relatively healthy canola oil instead of butter or shortening. There
is no white flour in them. The cocoa nibs can be found at health food
stores. They are expensive, but you only use 1/4 cup, so a $10 bag of
them lasts a long time (two years so far for me).

My wife served some to a fried of her's the other day and the friend
raved over them and had a hard time reconciling the sweet rich taste
with the relatively healthy recipe.
