No, I am not the gardening type, have health problems, but I do container gardening on a nice screened in porch, and for cooler weather I have a small green house. I am equally happy with the fact that these are organic, gives on peace of mind to know what you are eating. I am going to nudge the local Clemson University extension and if they don't know about you already, they certainly will now. Those videos ought to be required viewing in our schools here. Have you talked to our First Lady yet, (Michelle) she does a beautiful job, getting children working and growning things green with their hands, don't you think?

They were a little dry without it. I covered 3/4 of the cookie with chocolate and the family loved them. I didn't have almonds so I used 2 teaspoons of almond extract instead. Also, I did not have lemon extract so I juiced 2 teaspoons of the lemon instead and I thought they had great flavor. These cookies were so good – but they definitely needed the chocolate.
