Hmmm... not sure what to rate this. *The batter was definately 5 stars (we couldn't stop snacking on it!)* but the overall taste seemed to be missing something. It was sweet, slightly cinnamon-y, but there was no discernable yogurt/fruit flavor that I could tell. I did change some things ... I didn't have the yogurt spread that it called for, so I used 1/2 c. cherry low-fat yogurt and 1/4 c berry jam. I used 1 c. brown sugar and 1/2 c white (although I thought it too sweet - next time I may cut out half the sugar and let the fruit do the sweetening). Instead of 1/2 c olive oil I used 1/4 c canola oil and 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce. I upped the cinnamon to 1 heaping tsp and added 1/4+ tsp nutmeg. ** Mixing the yogurt and jam with the butter and sugar all at once didn't work too well... you should cream the butter and sugar first, then add in the yogurt and jam when you add in the other wet ingredients.** I baked for the full 15 min. but then my oven runs a little cool. Cookies spread quite a bit, but the texture was Great; nice and chewy in the center yet crispy around the edges. This recipe is definately worth tinkering with to resolve what seems to be missing! That's why I rated it 5 stars even though I was a little disappointed with the bland-ish results...
