These are surprisingly good. I got about 36 cookies out of this recipe. Used butter instead of shortening. These are excellent with a chai latte. I think I will definitely make these again.

Made these with butter instead of shortening and I didn't have apple pie spice so i made my own along with help from some fellow reviewers this is what i arrived at: 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. allspice, 1 tsp. of nutmeg & 1 tsp of ginger. Its not as sweet as your average sugar cookie, perhaps because the whole wheat doesn't absorb flavors well. But its healthier than most and everyone that had one enjoyed it. I'll definitely try this with the chocolate next time.

I made these cookies yesterday and they were great! I used regular shortening and nutmeg instead of apple pie spice. They turned out wonderful!

This was deffinently a different way for me to make cookies. The whole wheat flour is such a nice change from the usual all-purpose, and it made the cookies taste better! I accidently added the flour in before blending but adding another egg allows the flour to combine just like normal cookie dough. And also try using chocolate chips instead of m&ms, they melt a bit and allow you to spread them like frosting, making them that much better!

My kids thought it lacked something, and I'd have to agree. Seemed like it could have used a little more zing to the spice or something.

I use this recipe for cutout cookies. Refrigerate dough for about 1 hr. before rolling out. I use pumpkin pie spice and make autumn leaf cutout cookies and let the kids decorate them. I do not put the extra cinnamon and sugar on them as they will have enough sugar with the frosting and sprinkles :)

I didn't have any apple spice, so I just added some nutmeg and cinnamon, and used a little less than a cup of oil instead of butter. It came out rather delicious.

I used demerara sugar instead of white and used cinnamon and nutmeg, more cinnamon than nutmeg though, and the cookies turned out great! I think brown sugars should definitely be used over white; they give a different flavour.

Wow! These were amazing & very easy. I'm always looking for healthier cookies for me & my family. Next time I'm going to try using xylitol instead of sugar. I'll make these often!! Enjoy!!

Consistently soft and absolutely WONDERFUL. I have made them a few times and have successfully replaced 1/2 the butter with applesauce. So I use 1/4 butter, 1/4 c. applesauce. They are still soft and irresistible. I also made the apple pie spice mix with 1/4 c. cinnamon, 1 Tbsp. allspice, 2 tsp. each nutmeg & ginger, 1/2 tsp. cardamom (optional).

I wish I could give this a 3 and half stars. While it didn't live up to its high rating and it was good. It wasn't super soft and gooey, but it was soft. It was not a sweet cookie, but sweet enough that it was satisfying. I loved that it didn't contain any white flour and that my kids thought it was treat. I skipped the m&m's and just used raw sugar and cinamon to decorate.

These are so yummy =) There are so many sugar cookie recipes out there that I like but I really wanted to find some with whole wheat. The only difference in mine I didn't sprinkle candy or cinnamon on them, but I'm sure they'd be great that way too. Thanks! =)

Although I love to bake with whole wheat and spelt flours, for Christmas baking I tend to use all purpose flour. After a long day of baking I ran out of all purpose flour and really wanted to make sugar cookies so I was pleasantly surprised to find this recipe. Not as sweet as our usual recipe it was still quite good. We cut them into shapes and decorated them.

ok, these were totally nasty, I don't know what i did wrong-i followed the recipe exactly and the mix came out crumbly and gritty. So I tweaked it and added some chocolate chips and the taste....was less than desireable. Even my husband who will eat anything that resembles a chocolate chip cookie wouldn't taste another. Sorry, I don't think I will make this again.
