Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! Made these as written except I used all whole wheat flour! Baked in convection oven at 350 degrees for 6 minutes, let set on sheet for 3 minutes and cooled on rack. They were soft and delicious!! They are definitely something I will be making again!!! Yummy! -
This recipe is yummy! I used 1/4 cup apple sauce and 1/4 cup butter instead of full butter called for. I also replace any recipe that calls for regular/wheat flour with 1/2 spelt and 1/2 oat flour and always use brown sugar in place of white sugar :) have to make them as healthy as possible! In doing it this way the batter was pretty runny...so I just plopped a teaspoon full on the cookie sheet and didn't do criss cross pattern. I will definitely be making this one again! -

These were yummy! I made it vegan by using 1/4 cup of peanut oil instead of an egg, and a little over 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree instead of butter. (I also did not do the crisscross design, which made the middle nice and soft.)

<br>I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
