Love it! I substituted applesauce for the butter. This has to be one of the healthiest cookie recipes I've seen and my preschoolers love them. We'll definitely make them again (soon) and might even try turning them into muffins. An excellent soft cookie recipe with no sugar and no fats.

This is a tasty cookie and I don't even have a problem letting the kids have a couple for breakfast. I added some toasted walnuts and although I chopped the apples this time, I would shred them like other reviewers have mentioned. The sweetness was perfect for our household!

They are great!!! I added some ingredients though....1/4 additional flour (used all purpose), more cinnamon (I love cinammon, so I didn't measure the amount), 1/4 cup Brown Sugar, 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries and a little bit of salt...they were delicious!! Thanks!!

Best Healthy cookie recipe I've found, my husband and I love these and eat them as our "guilt free" cookies. I sometimes make these for my kids but substitute the apple for chocolate chips (I know not as healthy but if they are eating whole wheat flower and oats its probably better than most breakfast cereal)!

If you are looking for a healthy, soft, very muffin-like "cookie", these are definitely worth a try, quick and easy to make... After reading reviews, I used 1/4 butter and 1/4 cup applesauce in place of the margarine, added 1/4 cup of ground flax for health benefits, 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut (for added texture). I used 1 full teaspoon of ground cinnamon (instead of 1/4 teaspoon), 2/3 cup of applesauce (instead of the 1 apple chopped). Also added additional spices: pinch or so of each nutmeg, ginger and cloves and added some dark chocolate chips. I will definitely make these healthy snacks again.

I have been on a mission to make the perfect healthy cookie and this is a step in the right direction. I used this recipe as a base and made several changes: 1. Butter, not margarine. 2. 1/4 tsp of almond extract along with the vanilla. 3. Used oat flour in place of whole wheat (about 1 1/4 cups) and added some ground flax seed (about 1/4 cup). 4. Added 1/2 tsp salt (this is essential and missing from the original recipe), 1/4 tsp Nutmeg and 1/2 tsp Ginger along with the Cinnamon (wich I upped to a full tsp). 5. Used closer to 2 cups of oats (old fastioned - not the quick cooking type) 6. Instead of apples I put in about 1 1/2 cups of a raw organic energy mix (seeds/nuts/raisins/crans). Holy cow! This cookie tastes amazing! Slightly cumbly but I think this has to do with the flour. I can't wait to try this with the apples too! This is a cookie you won't feel guilty about eating.

Cut the apples VERY small... and don't use too many. More is definately not better in this case. Otherwise, this is a very excellent recipe!

While these were tasty I would say they were more like a muffin rather than a cookie. I, like others, added 1tsp of cinnamon and 1/2cup brown sugar and they were delicious!
