My son and I made these for a healthy snack to pack in his school lunch. We added a half cup of non-fat plain yougurt and they are tasty and chewy! We will make these again!

We liked these a lot. I had 1 cup of pumpkin leftover from some pumpkin waffles yesterday and went searching for a good recipe to use it up. Luckily I found this one! I used 1/2 cup splenda brown (you are supposed to use it at half strength) and used 1/2 raisins 1/2 mini chocolate chips. I also used white wheat flour. We thought these were spicy and sweet and almost chewy. We didn't find them too dry at all, though I may have used a tad more pumpkin then called for (I just used up with was in my container) and I had soaked my raisins in water as they were little lumps. There probably remained a bit of water on them. I found the batter a little tough the mix, but the end result was definitely worth it. Thanks so much for sharing this one.

I wish I could rave about these because the recipe looked so yummy, but I followed the recipe to a tee and they came out spongy, and tasting like soap. I’m really disappointed ??

Oh my gushness!!! These cookies are awesome! You would never know they are low-fat. I did as others suggested and added a little extra pumkin puree (I used the canned Libbys) and about 2 tablespoons of milk. I also didn't have nutmeg and I don't like clove so I added allspice in lieu of (1/2tsp) They are so moist and delicious. They are dense little cakes. I love this recipe. This is a TOP FIVE for us. Healthy and delish!!!!

Very good treat! I altered it a little bit based on personal preference and the reviews. I added a tad more pumpkin puree than was called for, a dash of salt, vanilla extract, ground multigrain bran mix, and then did half with raisins for my wife and chocolate chips for me. Since I didn't have some of the spices, I used a lot of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. They were perfectly moist and chewy, and nice to have a low fat treat that doesn't taste l like it!
