I do not care to add applesauce to any thing I bake, These cookies just didn't taste good at all. Sorry!

Love the flavor I used crunch peanut butter, but it took 25 minutes at 350 degrees to bake this cookie

These cookies are fabulous! I used chunky peanut butter and needed to bake mine longer than directed (about 15 minutes). I definitely will be baking many more batches.

Did you use all whole wheat flour or  some  whole wheat and some all purpose??? I  know that sometimes when baking you can't use all whole wheat or it messes up the baking process.

They're awesome! I added a cup of chopped up peanuts for a crunch; it worked great!

I used whole wheat flour to supplement for bleached flour. My kids didn't even know they were a healthy made cookie. Love the recipe!

I used lactose-free chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they were delicious.
