These made for a nice breakfast for transporting in the car. I will make these again but like another reviewer I will make them smaller. Made for Comfort Cafe - Winter 2010.

Husband loved these cookies before work. However, my two year old not as happy with them.

Very good! It's a nice treat for breakfast. I used all-purpose flour (ran out of whole wheat), substituted Splenda for the sugar, and used 3 Tb of applesauce and 3 Tb of peanut butter. I'll leave out the chocolate chips next time--the cookie was already very sweet and indulgent. I'll also make the cookies smaller like lissa suggested, the cookies were still a little doughy in the middle after 10 minutes of cooking. Will be making these again!

Dryer texture than most cookies, probably due to the whole wheat flour. Sort of an odd flavor...I am guessing to the mixture of cocoa, cinnamon, and applesauce. Might make again.
