Super Great cookies! I did change 2 things 1 is I used vegetable oil and the second was I used Craisins in stead of the raisins. Will keep this and make again and again! Thanks for posting!!!!!!

i was looking for a healthy but tasty cookie for my picky 16 mo old daughter. these were perfect. i used all organic ingredients and substituted whole wheat flour...omitted nuts and rasins for her but they were still very good. not too sweet but not bland. a very simple, fresh taste. great recipe.

These are absolutely divine! If you like Oatmeal cookies, you'll love these!!! DH doesn't really care for cooked raisins, so I left them out, but I think as well as he liked these, I'll give a few raisins a go too next time. I couldn't believe how fast these went. Within minutes after the first batch came out of the oven they were gone. They turned out soft and chewy. I used Granny Smith apples, my favorite for baking and the cookies weren't too sweet, nor the apples too tart. I thought everyone would have had their fill and I'd have some for DH's lunch tomorrow. NOT!!! Thanks for sharing a really great and healthy recipe Karen!
