Very tasty cookie. I used Wheat "Total" flakes instead of bran and it was yummy. I made some without raisins and fed it to my baby! She liked them!My DH was a bit leery when I told him what was in it, but he can't resist any cookie straight from the oven; he was very pleased! I will say, it did NOT make 2 1/2 dozen cookies by any means, and I made them really small! Next time I may have to double the recipe. THANK You!

These were not that bad. Came out better than we thought they would. After reading the reviews I chose to add apple sauce to this and did not put raisins in ours... Thanks for posting this...
