I'm not giving this any stars since I changed the recipe. I started out as normal, but I had to use an egg instead of egg substitute. 1/3c flour made soup pretty much, so I added more WW flour and white flour. About a cup more. Anyway, I love the pumpkin flavor in the cookies that came out. I am going to adjust this recipe for our needs because I do love the flavor it gave. Thank you!
