  • “My Mom has been making these cookies for several years now.I had lost her recipe and it wasn’t until I started making these that I realized that this is it!Thanks Inez.I won’t lose it again.These taste great.”

  • “Tried this for my father-in-law for his Christmas gift.Absolutely moist and delicious.Thanks for submitting this recipe.”

  • “The texture is more muffin-like than that of a cookie, but, nevertheless, great tasting and so healthy too!!! I was just shy 1 cup of dates so I threw in a few dried apricots, used golden raisins, and didn’t bother peeling the apple (which I grated). After reading other reviews, I used whole wheat flour. I subbed strong coffee for the water, replaced the cinnamon with a generous tsp of 4-spice, and used blackstrap molasses for the sweetener. Scooped into mini muffin pans, so I had to bake them for 15 minutes, and they turned out wonderful! Thanks MizzNezz :)”

  • “Excellent cookie recipe.I chose these because of the list of ingredients and because they were not like other cookie recipes I have seen.I made a few subs on the recipe list in order to be able to use all organic ingredients and because my 4 yr old daughter helped make them and wanted her favorites in:organic dates, organic granny smith apple, organic raisins, organic apricot and organic papya.I also subbed the flour with white whole wheat flour and used black strap molasses as my liquid sweetener.I was not sure what to expect with these but wanted something healthy for my daughter and I.We were not disappointed at all.The texture was not as dense as I would have liked but that is only to prevent me from eating them all which i pretty much have done. I plan on using these for breakfast for myself and late nite snacking so I need them to fill me up on just one or two; but if that wasnt an issue the texture would be more than fine.The taste doesnt taste sugar free.They had a nice light natural sweetness to them.I love the nutrition facts on them and the ease of the recipe.My daugher even added a few carob chips to a few before we threw them in the oven.We will be making these on a regular rotation.Thanks so much for sharing!”

  • “Good cookie! for a no sugar, no butter cookie this was very good, and I enjoyed the guilt free eating. I did however add walnuts to my second batch and loved them just as much, maybe a little more? I also used table molasses for the liquid sweetener. Thanks!”

  • “Definitely a wonderful cookie!!I call this type of cookie a little tasty cake…more like a soft sweet biscuit than a wafer crisp cookie…I did not expect results with no fat to be otherwise.This is my type of treat – perfect with my “tea-break” (which could be at any time of the day or night!!)I made mine with an oat bran and whole wheat flour blend & used one half of a Granny Smith Apple (which I was to lazy to peel…I never really peel apples; I like the skin) – I juiced the rest of the apple to use as the “liquid sweetener”.My cookie dough seemed runny but I spooned it on to a parchment paper lined sheet and they came out De-Light-FULL!!Thank you MizzNezz for a lovely recipe!”

  • “The best sugarfree drop cookie that I have tried so far. I did make a few changes. I only had 1/2cup of dates so I used 1 cup of raisins. I cooked the fruit in 1/4cup lemon juice and 1/4cup water. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour added some nutmeg and cloves, used 2 egg whites only and cut the salt to 1/2 teaspoon. I don’t use liquid sweetener, so I used 5 teaspoons brown sugar twin. A very nice moist cookie. Don’t overbake though.”

  • “Very nice for this type of recipe.I doubled the cinnamon and added some nutmeg after reading reviews, and also used honey as the sweetner, as I wasn’t sure what ‘liquid sweetner’ was.I think DH will eat these.I really like them.Thanks for our first ‘low sugar’ cookie recipe!”

  • “Yummy soft cookies.I did find them a bit bland and not particularly fruity tasting, but they’re still pretty good.The fat content is so low, these will never bee crispy cookies, but they’re nice as-is.I used honey as the liquid sweetener and subbed half of the water called for for apple cider.I think this is a nice basic recipe, but could use some kicking-up, with some more spices.”
