    Was craving pumpkin cookies. Cut the butter in half and threw in some Greek yogurt, reduced sugar and added apple sauce. Turned out great! - 12/28/17

    Made these with my daughter today, delish! I made them a little bigger than the recipe calls and only cooked them for 15 min. Left out the nuts(only bc of peanut allergies in the family). Left out the orange in the glaze(only bc I was too lazy to go to the store) :) Very yummy! - 10/2/11
