This was a really good cookie. After reading the last review I was actually expecting a cake like cookie, but it wasnt that at all, which is fine. My door is open to all kinds of cookies. ;) I followed it to a T, and was a little suprised because I am a pumpkin feind, but couldnt taste the pumpkin in it, but, of course, my hubby totally could! LOL No matter, we LOVED the cookie, and I will be making these again.

Just like Moms. I've been eating these since I was a kid.

This recipe was easy to make, I substituted Succanat for the sugar so the came out darker. I expected more of a cookie texture, these are cakelike. They are alright but I was looking forward to a nice crisp chocalate chip cookie. I'm not sure if the succanat caused this or if this is how they are supposed to be.
