These were really good. I used half whole wheat flour, half white flour.

We loved these! I did however, use 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup apple sauce as others suggested to cut down on the fat and they were excellent! Thank you for recipe and thanks to those who made the suggestion of lower fat. You would not have known the difference! (They didn't need to be frosted either!)

Used this recipe for making a Bundt Cake...Turned out amazing. Also, made an icing to Drizzle on top with Conf. Sugar, melted butter and Vanilla Flavoring. Turned out awesome. Considering using as a muffin mix too! Family loved it!

These were good- I subtitued margarine for shortening, and used 1/2 cup brown and 1/2 white sugar. I threw in some dried cranberries instead of raisins and used the walnuts. I just dabbed the tops with store bought vanilla icing and my kids loved them. They are better cold then hot which is rare for a cookie. Good recipe

I made a few changes- but this is an AWESOME base! I added a dash of clove and nutmeg to the mix and instead of raisins (which I think are icky) I used dried cranberries. I also substituted the shortening for butter that was slightly melted and stuck the batter in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking. They turned out FANTASTIC! So cakey and delicious! My husband ate 4 off of the cooling rack as I was putting the next round into the oven!

MY KIDS LOVED THESE! I made them for a church gathering and the ladies just didn't go for them so my kids were pleased to see them come home! I used baking butter instead of shortening. They stayed in cookie form but were more of a cake. Next time may try it as muffins or a cake. I didn't ice them this time but may try next time.

We added 1/2 c of brown sugar and skipped the frosting. Wonderful!

Delicious! I used 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup applesauce as others suggested. I also added a pinch of nutmeg and will add a sprinkle of ground cloves next time I make them. I also used 1/2 All-Purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour since these were for my toddlers. They rise nicely while cooking and end up fluffy and soft! Stayed fresh in a tupperware container for almost a week. I'm amazed they lasted that long! They didn't need frosting, but I might dust them with powdered sugar next time, at my husband's suggestion.
