These were delicious cookies--I used regular sugar instead of sweetener as that is unhealthy. :)

This is a very good recipe. I used the Splenda Sugar combo and put in about a 1/4 cup of it. It worked great. I also put in chopped pecans.

This recipe is close to a cookie that I make that my pals have dubbed the "hippie cookie" due to its healthy-ish ingredients. I was gladl to find a similar recipe to sample, but my hands unknowingly grabbed at my usual additions, hence the following changes/subs. (WW flour, 1/4 c. applesauce to 1/4 margarine, 1/3 c. brown sugar, 1/2 c. Splenda, 1/4 c. wheat germ, and chopped walnuts.) Definitely not the most attractive cookie-cookie, but oh so good out of the oven and difficult to spot that it's a better-for-you version. Husband came home, snatched one up, then another, then another, til I squawked "hey dude, it's almost dinnertime!", to which our toddler remarked, "save cookie for me daaaaaddddy!"

I've tried many low sugar cookies (with whole wheat flour) most of them are tolerable but not good. These were very good, even for a normal cookie. I also added sunflower seeds to them.

I made these twice in two days to make sure these were really that good - and they are! I used whole wheat pastry flour since it adds more fluffiness. I also used part splenda brown sugar and part regular brown sugar - did not add the packets and this was sufficiently sweet. I used low fat margarine but next time i will try half marg and half applesauce. i also used mini-choc chips instead of raisins. will make again and again!

These are very good. I took another reviewer's suggestion and used half cup of splenda, and these turned out wonderfully. Next time I will make a bigger batch! I used parchment paper so I didnt have to grease the baking sheet. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful! My husband tasted them and requested another batch to take to work. That night I got e-mails from people he works with requesting the recipe! I have to admit that I did make changes. All I had was wheat flour and butter. I used Splenda so I added 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce to keep it from being crumbly (couldn't taste the applesauce). Also neither myself or my husband likes raisins so I used dried blueberries (unchopped). I know it sounds like I completly changed the recipe, but I can imagine that it would have been just as good had I followed it perfectly. Thank you Judy!!

This was a very good recipe, even though I did not use the Acesulfame Potassium sweetener. I prefer Stevia, but I really had no idea how much to use, so I tried 10 drops of the liquid extract. They turned out pretty good but I think I will use 15 or 20 drops next time. I also added 1/4 c of chocolate chips, which was quite tasty.

Very good! My husband and I are both gastric bypass patients and these were a nice treat for us. They don't spread when they bake so I pressed them down a bit before I put them in the oven.
