    (This makes them nice and plump).
  2. Cut pears into quarters and remove core. Place them into the mixing bowl and pulse turbo once, shake the bowl and repeat.
    Remove from bowl and set aside.
    (Do not over grate the pears remove any large chunks and cut up if needed).

Tip

Greek yoghurt can be subbed for butter. The yoghurt creates a light fluffy cookie, butter gives the cookie a golden, slightly crispy exterior.

These cookies are low in fructose (sugar) and can be adjusted easily to your personal taste. Simply combine or replace 1/3 cup of rice malt syrup with;

**Alternative sweeteners**

- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener.
- 2 tbsp rice malt + 2 tbsp brown sugar or sweetener.
- 100g rice malt syrup + 1/3 cup dark semi sweet chocolate chips.
- 4 stevia/sugarine tablets, dissolved in 1/2 tsp of boiled water

(The dark chocolate chips were the most popular combination).

*Keep in mind these cookies will become soft & taste sweeter when completely cooled.*

I have not tested the recipe with golden, agave, maple syrup or honey.
