  1. I made these today for my family, and I thought they were pretty good. I prefer chewier cookies, but I knew coming in to this that, by using applesauce, I wouldn't get the texture I like best. My brother thought the texture was a bit weird, but I liked it, as did my parents. I got a yield of a little under 30 cookies. I didn't really flatten them much before baking, so they spent a little extra time in the oven (one tray maybe spent 11 minutes in the oven and turned out pretty soft, while the other spent maybe 13 and was a bit firmer). I did not frost them.
     
  2. We really liked these cookies and the frosting was an extra special treat we weren't even expecting! Thanks for sharing this recipe so we didn't have to go without!
     
  3. The cookies turned out great, had a nice flavor. They were mildly sweet, like a slightly sweet biscuit, but denser and in the shape of a cooker. The frosting was, eh. The frosting tasted too buttery. So I ended up eating the cookies plain! I might make these again, but try some different things with the frosting. Or maybe I'll go frosting-less again!
