Solid 3.5 to 4 star rating, for what it's meant to be - which is a healthy, low-fat cookie. Keeping that in mind, I would definitely make it again, on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, so that I'll have some tasty AND easy-on-the-waistline treats available for those times when cookie cravings hit! Based on the items in my pantry, reading other reviews, and my own preference for a less-sweet but still flavourful cookie, I made 6 changes: *to use 1/2 cup white sugar (because I had no brown sugar), *to use 1 tsp baking powder (because I had no baking soda), *to use 1/2 cup quick oats and 3/4 cup rolled oats, *to add 1 tsp vanilla, *to add 1 tsp cinnamon, *to add 1/2 tsp salt. I refrigerated the dough for 15 minutes, then dropped them by the spoonful on a greased, lined cookie sheet, and baked for 12 minutes. (I rotated my cookie sheet after 6 minutes, to ensure even baking). In total, this made 40 bite-sized cookies (in 2 batches). They make a GREAT afternoon snack to go with a cuppa joe or tea. :) Try this, you won't regret it!

Modified recipe by adding 1tsp vanilla extract, 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp apple pie spice, 1/4 cup raisins and chocolate chips studded on top. Texture is light, a little muffin-like, moist, not chewy or crispy. Not too sweet, the addition of the chocolate chips worked well. The finished colour is very light, maybe some cocoa powder would add some nice golden browns.

These were more like scones than cookies and yummy whilef being likely sweet and cakey. I also altered the recipe a bit: - whole wheat flour (not white) - 3/4 cup raisins - 1/2 cup chopped nuts - sucanat which is dried sugar cane (not brown sugar) I used all-organic ingredients, maybe more for the psychological "yum" factor than anything else. :) I made larger scoops (15 total) and baked for 12-15 minutes. In the future I might try to add some other things like nutmeg or something. Good base recipe.

Wow, this is a great recipe and very forgiving! I made it as is and it was wonderful. I then reduced the sugar to haf a cup total (brown), added stuff that I had like hemp seed, flax seed, and coconut, and ommitted walnuts so the kids could take them to school. I even used blueberry apple sauce that my daughter wouldn't eat. They were just as awesome! 3 times with different ingred. and each time soft chewy, sweet and delicious! Best cookie recipe to date!

VERY good, could have used maybe a bit more cinnamon maybe? And maybe because I used homemade applesauce made w/ 9 different varieties of apples, but I thought the apple flavor was stellar.

I'd like to know how anyone would consider this recipe healthy when there's so much sugar and almost 200 calories, aside from the fat content, per cookie. I give it an extra star for having oats in it.

I listened to the advice and added vanilla, more cinnamon, and nutmeg (no salt), and I used a gluten free flour substitute and they came out wonderful! I had friends over, and they took some home! This is certainly a keeper!

Just made these, with a few of the changes that other readers suggested. I'm only giving it three stars because I think it is an excellent starter for healthier alternative cookies. I added salt, more cinnamon, and vanilla. Used Splenda brown sugar and plain, fat-free yogurt instead of butter. But the best part was the raisins and coconuts I added! If you're a coconut fan, these make excellent little treats! Thanks for sharing!

These cookies taste ok considering that they are meant to be healthy. I did add nutmeg and vanilla along with a little extra cinnamon. I also added some semi-sweet chocolate chips. I think next time i will drizzle a little glaze over them to add some more sweetness.
