My daughter made these and they turned out SUPER!! She wasn't keen on trying them because of the pumpkin, but she was a good sport and ended up LOVING them. They have a great flavor. We weren't sure what to look for for fully cooked, but I think being a bit under cooked worked out well!!! - 12/27/07

This just didn't turn out. They really never turned into cookie form. Just globs of all the ingredients. They didn't taste bad, just bland. I tried turning it into a kind of crisp, throwing all the ingredients into a bowl, adding some apples, brown sugar and cinamon, but it still wasn't great. - 12/15/07

VERY tasty and healthy! As another user said, they didn't flatten for me either, but I that's probably due to to no butter or oil. It sure doesn't affect the taste! Hubby and I will be fighting over them. We didn't have quite enough craisins so he put in a bit of a dried berry mix we had on hand. - 12/10/07

I really liked these - as did friends that I shared them with. They took a bit longer to bake than stated & needed smooshing. Next time I'll replace 1/2 the WW flour w/ soy & almond flour & add a bit of silken tofu to up protein. I used splenda brown sugar baking blend & egg substitute-worked well. - 12/16/08

the one or two people who said this recipe was great are crazy - this recipe as it stands is not tasty, does not turn into edible flat cookies - doesn't seem to cook right at all - after much adding of more sugar, butter, baking powder and a bit of self rising flour it was still barely edible - 12/21/07

I wonder if people are taking into consideration that whole wheat flour soaks up moisture like a sponge. I am gluten free so I used gluten free flour (sorghum, oat, potato mix) and lowered the oatmeal to 2.5 , added the applesauce suggested, doubled the vanilla, added nutmeg and they were wonderful - 12/4/10

I added 1/2 c. applesauce and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg; used only 2/3 c. brown sugar, 1.5 tsp. vanilla, quick-cooking (not instant) oats, and large eggs; then flattened them a bit before baking. Baked only 10 minutes. Will also try raisins, walnuts, add some chocolate chips, and/or use sweet potato. Great! - 12/4/10

Using all wheat flour is what makes them so dense and dry. I usually make cookies with some white flour and the rest wheat. I also add a TBl of Ground Flax seed for the health benefit - you can't taste it. I've never tried craisins and almonds (usually use walnuts) so I can't wait to try this. Thanx - 3/9/13

I made this recipe to take into the office for the holidays. Everyone loved them! I changed it up a bit by doubling the amount of cinnamon and vanilla, adding 1/4c unsweetened applesauce, and using Splenda brown sugar. I also flattened out the cookies a little before baking. So, so yummy. - 12/20/12

I used 1 cups oats instead of the 3 because the first time I made them they had a good taste but very dry. Much better the second round but I want to try them with the applesauce suggestion. I think that would do wonders. I also had to flatten them myself. Great flavor though and I love pumpkin. - 10/7/12

These are just okay. The flavors good, but the texture is blah. I doubted due to the lack of butter that this recipe would look anything like the picture. I was right. When you swap out butter for fruit, cookies get cakey and thick. I'll eat them as a breakfast cookie, no one else likes them. - 12/15/11
