These cookies are sweetened basically with chopped dried apples and only a tablespoon of agave nectar. Of course, agave nectar is extremely potent and a tablespoon will go a long way. You might want to reduce it even more after you taste this amount.
My recipe was inspired by Julia Ferre's recipe for "Oatmeal and Walnut Cookies" on page 171 in Basic Macrobiotic Cooking (available on the George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation website).
