I made these cookies for the first time and they turned out great!! They taste just a little cake and my boyfriend says all they need is that cream cheese frosting.... but then that would defeat the purpose of them being low fat, they are not overly sweet and they taste really good, I will definitely make them again. I am diabetic so I didnt feel guilty eating them. YUM!!!

I have made these delicious cookies several times. I have to triple the recipe because my two boys love them so much. The cookies have always turned out great, light and yummy. Perhaps the other reviewer's baking soda or baking powder was 'off'?
