This is a wonderful recipe! I've made it several times, now, and it also works with just about anything that resembles applesauce in texture. Of course, I began with applesauce and they were great, but it also works with cooked pumpkin, raw carrots, or zucchini grated in the food processor. When I substituted them, because they are less acid than applesauce, I added two teaspoons baking powder. I've become very experimental lately, trying to use up leftovers in the fridge!

I found this tasteless and unimpressive. Someone thought it tasted like an oatmeal cookie without the oatmeal. The second batch I add 3/4 cup oatmeal, and they were much better. Granted, I did omit the nuts, which I also advise against. My total recommendations: add 1 tsp vanilla for flavor, add a 1.25 cups oatmeal, and add a glaze of milk and powdered sugar to add some sweetness to an otherwise bland cookie. I would also kick up the cinnamon a notch. The glaze is clutch. It has potential and they are especially soft and moist and hold their shape well. Not too pretty though - reminded me of drop biscuits.

My Mom used to make these all the time, she has been deceased for about 4 years. I love these cookies and could not find her recipe so I tried these, and with a few tweeks they taste just like hers:) Thank you for the recipe!

Since my family doesnt eat raisins, I substituted chocolate chips for them, and the cookies were still fantastic. If my finicky family will eat them, anyone would!!

I made a batch of these on a whim for my family for Christmas and they went fast! Love the texture of these cookies. I also substituted chocolate chips for the raisins and nuts.

I had no problem whatsoever with the dough or these cookies (like some reviews I read). They baked perfectly and beautifully in less time than the recipe suggested (that's my oven for ya though). I do agree that it's not about the presentation with this cookie..it's all about the taste! They are moist and delicious in flavor. I omitted the raisins because I don't like them, and I used a tsp of cinnamon and a dash of allspice. I also drizzled a little glaze on top just to make them a bit more appealing to the eye. I tried it with a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar, but I liked the glaze better. This recipe is worth trying!

I used smart lite margerine and added an extra 1/4 cup of applesauce instead of an egg to make them even healthier and they still turned out great, thank you.

THESE ARE , AS WAS STATED BEFORE , NOT THAT ATTRACTIVE. I WHIPPED UP SOME CONFECTIONER'S SUGAR AND MILK, ADDING SOME CINNAMON, TO MAKE A GLAZE TO TOP THE COOKIES . IT MADE THEM LOOK MORE APPEALING AND GAVE THEM A LITTLE UMPH...THEY REALLY ARE NOT VERY SPICEY, SO I DID ADD SOME ALLSPICE TO THE RECIPE. THEY ARE OK , BUT NOT ONES THAT I BAKE VERY OFTEN.

I love these cookies! My family just loves them, which says something! I didn't have raisins so I used choc. chips instead and they came out beautifully. Next time I think I'll try both the raisins and choc. chips and see what happens. Thanks for the great recipe.

These are very soft, cake-like and puffy. One batch lasted appx 3 hours at my house, a new record for us! These cookies are very "home-y." I needed to bake mine a few mins longer than stated. I baked them until the bottoms were medium brown and they were just perfect. Thanks for this keeper!

I was excited when I found this recipe because I had a jar of applesauce that I wanted to use up. I was not impressed with this recipe at all. When I was mixing the dough it was WAY too sticky. I added another full cup of flour and it was still too sticky. I was tired of mixing so I just spooned it out and baked it as it was. Like the previous reviewer, I too found that these cookies weren't baking up well. I removed them from the oven before the burning point and they were still doughy in the middle. A big disappointment.

These were easy enough to make. They seemed under baked no matter how long I left them in the oven. My husband didn't care for them at all. I thought they were ok but I won't make them again just for myself. A real disappointment after having read the other reviews. Thanks anyway Patricia

YUM! My mixer blew up in January, and my new one just arrived. I couldn't WAIT to bake something. . . but didn't have tried-and-true ingredients (choco chips, oatmeal)! I found this recipe, had all the ingredients, and set to work. It was very easy. . . and the cookies are almost gone -- all except those that are still in the oven! ;+)

This cookie tastes great. Only two complaints... I followed the recipe exact, and the cookies didn't brown even after baking for 15 minutes. Also, the recipe only made 2 1/2 dozen cookies, and I made the cookies fairly small. Next time I will double the recipe.
