This cookie is delicious with some modifications. I used all whole wheat flour doubled the yogurt (used low fat vanilla) halfed the sugar to 1/2 cup since the yogurt is already sweetened (used only brown sugar) used 1 whole egg rather than 2 egg whites (why waste it?) and skipped the butter flavored granules. Instead of adding in my oatmeal and raisins last I stirred it in with my wet ingredients before adding the flour mixture to absorb some moisture. To make up for the butter flavor I would use butter-flavored non stick spray. I had to bake mine for 11 minutes to get them cooked through and they were just a bit more than a tbs per cookie. After baking I let them sit on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes so they can be chewy. Put them in the fridge and they will stay moist and will be chewy. They actually taste better the next day! Hope my review helped! =D Read More

Well this recipe was a good starting point but I made/would have made a lot of changes. To start with I added 1tsp cinnamon and didn't bother with the salt butter buds or vanilla extract. I also used all brown sugar instead of some of each. The cookies took over 15 mins to bake and were still just starting to brown on top. I know ff cooking doesn't tend to brown as attractively as recipes that use butte/marg but I did think the cooking time was a bit short. After tasting them I will make the following changes next time: using more oats and less flour as I thought the oats were a bit lost; using a dah of ground mixed spice in addition to the cinnamon I added and baking them for 20 mins. They weren't horrible but were extremely average. Read More

If you're reading this review that means you're in the mood for a soft oatmeal cookie- so get baking! These are exactly what I always thought oatmeal cookies should be like- moist chewy mmmmm mmmmm good. I used peach flavored yogurt- the whole 8 oz. of it- and I felt like I was eating peach oatmeal in delicious cookie form. I can't believe it's not butter in these. My fiance loved them- and he thought I was lying when I told him there was no butter. Enjoy! Read More

(42) Absolutely great! They are chewy soft & tasty. Low fat...but don't have a low fat taste...they taste 'real'. My friends ate them up couldn't believe they were low fat and wanted the recipe right away. The cookies are also very easy to make. Defintely recommend. Read More

I have never seen a cookie recipe like this one using yogurt and butter buds. I was a little apprehensive at first but figured I would try it out for my parents who love lo-fat stuff. This cookie is great! I used less vanilla and thought that was better. These cookies are so soft moist and almost like a cake. They are best if eaten 5 minutes after being taken out of oven. Nice recipe! Read More

(26) This recipe has become my favorite cookie recipes...and I don't like to bake. I use the recipe as is --- or omit the fake butter flakes (becuase I don't buy) and add whatever nuts I can find....my two boys and my neighbors love these cookies! FAB!!! Read More

I've made these "cookies" several times and they always turn out the same. They're not horrible but I don't think you can call these cookies. They turn out extremely puffy no matter how much I try to flatten them before putting them into the oven. When they cool there's weird shiny glaze on them. I've tried cutting back on the sugar to see if that was the problem but the glaze is still there. I agree that the cooking time needs to be longer. I don't think I'll be making these again - I'd rather eat my yogurt! Read More

(12) I love this cookie. I increased the yogart to 8oz of fat free used an atrificial sweetner instead of the 1/2 cup of granular sugar and added 3/4 cup of walnuts. I also added 1/2 cup of milled flax seed. This did not alter the taste but made it more healthy. These changes produced a better healthier cookie Read More

(9) These are very good for being so low in fat. Definitely chewy and they have the "bite-able" texture I look for in an oatmeal cookie (cross between a chewy granola bar and a cookie) but they just weren't fantastic enough to warrant 5 stars in my book. Watch the bottoms they burn easily! Read More
