I thought these were wonderful...didn't taste diet-y at all! I made the recipe as written with one substitution...my nutmeg seems to have grown legs and retreated, so I just used a bit of clove. Turned out soft on the inside, with crispy edges. I'd serve these to a non-dieter....DH loved them! And they made the house smell wonderful. Will be making these often, thanks so much for sharing!

I cut the recipe to make 18 cookies and actually got 8. I made pretty big walnuts lol. I baked them for 11 mins and got a crispy edge with a softer interior. The raisins were something else that I changes just a bit, I used abut half the amount ask for to trim the sugars. That brings me to the one thing I would chance the next time I make this recipe. I find it too sweet, I will skip the brown sugar and use just the ask for Splenda. The raisins are wee bundles of concentrated sugar, the applesauce has a lot of natural sugar,cinnamon sweetens too. I'll be the first to say that this is a personal taste preference and you might feel differently. The recipe works beautifully and I very much appreciate the health aspect of this.
