I really enjoyed this! I made a handful of substitutions inspired by my morning oatmeal:<br/><br/>Started at step 4: <br/>1 c of gala apples<br/>1/3 c of pecans (in lieu of dates & raisins)<br/>1/2 c apple butter<br/>& clove honey for my sweetener<br/><br/>They're really tasty! But next time I plan to add at least 2x as much honey. Thanks Sarah!

We liked these. Used whole wheat flour instead of white. Next time, I would add more cinnamon. Another keeper! Thanks Sarah J!

Good recipe. I am always looking for healthier ways to "trick" my kids into thinking they are eating junk food. I liked these cookies because of their lack of sugar and because they were easy to make too! Oh yeah...did I mention that they taste pretty good too? Thanks Sarah J.

Very good. I used the following substitutions to make them 1/2 ww point each & even healthier. They turned out very nice: Whole wheat flour instead of white flour, I replaced some of the flour with 8 grain cereal mix-abt 1/4 cup(optional). 1 tsp powdered stevia instead of liquid sweetener mixed into 1/2 cup egg substitute instead of 2 eggs. I replaced the dates with more apples and I added 1/4 tsp baking powder to the recipe. I made 30 small cookies (teaspoon of batter)& they come out to be 1/2 ww point each.
