I have made these cookies several times, and they are, by far, my favorite autumn cookie! Lots of great harvest flavor, and the nutritious ingredients tucked inside are a bonus. The whole family loves them!

I love to make these cookies in the fall! I made them last year for the first time after I saw them in the magazine, and they became my favorite fall cookies! I was so excited to make them again this year...I love them. Everyone who's had them agrees! There are a lot of ingredients, but they're well worth the cost and the effort. (I usually get at least 4 dozen cookies, though.)

I have made these cookies several times since finding this recipe. YUMMY! My nephew loves them and constantly wants me to bake them just for him. Excellent cookies. Will keep this recipe. Thanks so much! And my nephew thanks you too!
