  One more thing to consider... check out the serving size. I cut the recipe in half, but I didn't get 40 cookies. Mine weren't even that big... so does that mean in order to get the 66 calorie cookie, we need to make them the size of a gum drop? Just wondering. - 6/25/09

  I use a 1 tablespoon size scoop to make them and I always come out with 80. I like them smaller because I can eat more and not feel as bad about it.

  These were very good. If you're vegan, you can use 1/4 cup of pureed fruit with 1/2 tsp baking powder to substitute an egg. I ended up using pumpkin because I had it on hand and they were fine. I don't know about lo-cal though - I ended up eating 8! - 7/28/09

  These are SOOOO good!!!! Love them! i halved the recipe and still had 2 1/2 cookie sheets! I loved that they have oats and whole grain (if only butter was good for you!) They dont taste like they have whole grain flour. - 5/1/09

  I made these to solve my chocolate craving. Love them! And it worked. :) I love the fact that they are quite wholesome, so they fill you up (unlike regular cookies) and you don't end up eating wayy too many. - 6/2/09

  I did half applesauce, half butter and egg substitute. The consistency was probably chewier than the original, but still good. I also omitted the white sugar-didn't try it the regular way, but I thought it was great without that sugar. All of those substitutions work and I got 72 cookies. Good! - 5/11/10

  Really great! I used Promise with a tablespoon of butter to make the 1/2 pound. I also used 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda for the white sugar. Also I added 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa to make them chocolate chocolaate chip oatmeal (and still be lo-cal). My teenage boys loved them! Thanks! - 2/16/10

  These are awesome. I halved the recipe. I also used olive oil spread instead of butter. A came out with about 30, but I made some a bit bigger for my fiance. I will be making these for my next family event, good for all the other caloire counters, and no one else will know! - 9/5/09

  I actually didn't read right and used just white flour since that was all I had and had already started. I also cheated and used 2 cups of chocolate chips. I was just making cookies to clean out my pantry. These came out DELISH! - 9/16/11

  i made these just as the recipe says the first time and i LOVED them. the second time i added just a dash of ground cinnamon and they were INCREDIBLE. i LOVE this recipe. The second time, i also flattened the cookies a little before putting them in just for a different, more desirable shape/size - 8/28/11

  Bad
  
  If you are looking for an easy hassle free recipe, this is NOT it. The batter was too dry and crumbly to make into balls and made a mess all over the kitchen. After baking they were still crumbly and fell apart completely. They tasted ok it you don't mind eating a pile of crumbs with a spoon. - 6/6/11

  These are great! I halved the recipe and used only 1/2 cup brown sugar (no white sugar), dropped by the leveled tablespoonful and it came out to 36 cookies. These are SO yummy! The perfect treat :) - 1/31/11

  made these tonight, halved the recipe, didn't want that many cookies. These are delish! The only modification I made was that I added 1.5 tbsp. of ground flax seed for a little more nutrition. My kids loved them! - 12/9/10

  I had to do some substitutions because of what I had in my pantry. I used 5 squares of bittersweet chocolate and all purpose flour. These were awsome! Am going to get the other ingredients and try the recipe as written to see how I like it that way, too. - 11/28/10

  SOOOOO YUMMMMY!!!! They were easy to make - my 4 year old daughter did most of it by herself - and they were delicious! Used Splenda instead of sugar otherwise followed the recipe - not sure we got 80 cookies but we got 3 cookies sheets full - plenty for everyone :) - 9/20/10

  I just made these and got 100 cookies with this; I used approx. 1/2 tsp per cookie. They are very good and very filling; they're about the size of a golf ball. I'd call that pretty good. I used Baker's Sugar, the calories are same as reg. sugar. Definately will make again. - 1/27/10
