""These delights are soft and chewy" a comment from the original recipe post. I adopted this recipe, made it and I agree. I followed the recipe, next time I will reduce the amount of brown sugar to 1/4 cup, the cookies/squares are sweet."

For a low fat cookie they're good. I had to bake them a bit longer because I felt they were still too spongy after 15 minutes. I'd like them a bit tougher.

What can you really expect from a no fat cookie recipe?. Being on a no/very low fat diet this seems like a treat for what it is. No low fat recipe in my eyes will get 5 out of 5. This cookie is moist but it seems like it needs a bit more flavor (I didn't think this cookie was sweet) although I will make this cookie again.
