This winter, I got the urge to make a chocolate drop cookie I hadn’t made in decades. When I pulled the recipe out to see if I had everything I needed, though, I was mortified by the cups and cups of white sugar and lard it required. So, I played with the recipe a little. First, I replaced the sugar with honey, peppermint Kallua, and some brown sugar. Then, I replaced the lard with some olive oil, and coconut oil. Finally, lacking other options, I spruced it up with some flax seeds and Rice Crispies.
