Best 50 Energy Bar Recipes Book

I was so excited to see a recipe for graham crackers (to go with my chocolate candy and vegan marshmallows for s'mores) because they're hard to find vegan; they all seem to have honey. But there's no graham flour in them so it doesn't look as though they'd have that distinctive graham cracker flavor. I'm so disappointed that I came very close to deducting a star from my rating. I guess I could experiment using graham flour and using the recipe given as a start.

Otherwise, this is an excellent cookie cookbook, even though I'm trying to eat healthier so reading this particular book now was probably not my wisest move, especially since the cookies that appeal most to me are some of the most decadent ones: Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows, NYC Black & White Cookies, and Deluxe Cocoa Brownies. Actually, there are too many for me to list. You'll also find a version of rice krispy treats and fig bars ala Fig Newtons. The Frosted Grapefruit Icebox Cookies look particularly interesting to me.

Over eighty recipes for all types of cookies, all vegan, are in this book. They're divided into sections: Drop Cookies, Wholesome Cookies, Bar Cookies, Fancy Cookies, and Sliced and Rolled Cookies. I'd say that at least ¾ of the recipes have an accompanying mouthwatering photograph of the finished product.

I appreciate that before the section with the recipes, some extremely helpful basic cookie making tips are given.

ETA 3 months later: I just can't get past the no graham flour in the graham crackers, especially since it's almost impossible to find these vegan commercially because they always add honey. So, demoted from 5 to 4 stars.
