I just tried this recipe and I did add the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla as well, but as I started it I realized I had nothing like raisins or nuts to add to it all I could find was coconut and french vanilla marshmallows.. All I can say is yummmm! Turned our nice and fluffy.

I am going to have to make it again, but remember to put the baking soda in it :) They taste amazing, but there is a reason all those ingredients are in there. I took the advice of putting 2 eggs in it as well. Just wanted to type to share what NOT to do lol

This recipe is great with the two extra eggs, extra 1/2 cup of flour, tbsp of honey, tsp of instant coffee, and tsp of cinnamon! I also substituted the soda for baking powder. Soooo yummy!

This was a great starter receipe. I substituted smart balance and coconut oil for the butter, 1/2 cup spenda brown sugar mix and stevia for the sugar, added unsweetened dried cranberries and unsweetened coconut flaks. I also only used 1/2 cup of flour. They came out great and was still quick and easy - Thank you :-)

I just made these and I'm glad I took the time to read a lot of the comments. I added cinnamon, 2 eggs, and about 1/2 cup more of flour. I usually bake with butter but had none at the time. I used 1/2 c margarine and 1/2 c oil and smashed a banana in the mix, and used equal parts of brown sugar and granulated. Sprinkled powder and cinnamon on top after I took them out and they were pretty and tasty. Can't wait to make these again and add raisins and nuts.

I made these cookies, I added the eggs and I added 1 mashed banana, a couple tbs sunflower seeds, and a cup of peach Greek yogurt and a little honey, cinnamon and nutmeg. Super awesome! These where the first cookies I have ever made from scratch, go bachelors! :D

I'm legally blind and this looks great for me to make. I'll use the 2 eggs, extra flour and cinnamon, but since I'm diabetic how much Splenda should I use in place of the sugar? Looking forward to trying these.

 Brain (Oregon) says:
LOL! I figured out the Splenda. For anyone else wanting to know, it's 1 to 1 (if recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, use 1 cup Splenda).

I halved the recipe and forgot to half the Baking Soda .. they're in the oven now and I'm hoping it turns out okay. I added 1 egg, cinnamon, Vanilla and 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce but forgot that 1 stick of butter equals 1/2 cup and used almost a full stick that was left over in fridge .. so I got a little extra butter. Was a little pasty and was difficult to "roll" into balls and then they didn't flatten well as they stuck to my hand. Well, next time I'll do better!
