    I'm about to make these for the second time. They were such a hit the first time I made them that I've gotten requests to make them again. It seems to be a tasty healthy-type cookie for my diabetic friends. They LOVE them! (I say 'them' because I myself being picky do not like the ingredients)

    I suggest sifting the cocoa before adding. The first time I made them it clumped up while piping the cookies out.
