I used whole wheat flour.And a half cup craisins.Instead of raisins.My three year old wanted Cowboy Music.So we played The Roy Rogers Tribute Cd.I nade then a little bigger so I added one minute to the baking time.And omited the chocolate chips.And WE LOVED THEM.

These are excellent cookies. I followed the recipe and found it very easy. I have been using Splenda as my sweetner for some time. As oven temps vary I only needed to bake them for 9 minutes. Thanks so very much for posting.
