These were so good, I made them today. I actually just used pumpkin spice instead of the other stuff out of convenience but its basically the same. Why don't mine look as pretty as everyone elses?  :>

These are great - but as others said, they don't spread, they only puff up, so you want to mash them down some.  The dough seems too sticky to do this, so I didn't, but I should have tried harder.  Delicious, though!

Tasty! I omitted the raisins and added chopped pecans.  The cookies were a little too bread-like so next time I would cook it in a loaf pan.  :o

I made this for my school's bake sale. i actually made cookie mini muffins because we only had one cookie sheet and like five muffin tins (what is up w/ that????). they turned out pretty well. :-*

These cookies are delicious!  With certain modifications, they make quite a tasty and semi-healthy breakfast.  I cut back on the sugar by about half but added a bit of maple syrup.  I also used half whole wheat flour, flax seeds, and cut back on the oil.  So good, the whole office loved them!  Soon there will an officeful of vegan converts!

I adore these unique, cakey yum yums!  Of course, I love just about anything with pumpkin involved....

I also made a simple sugar glaze to drizzle on top.....shiny cookies taste good!

A very good flavor and a delicate cakey texture, though I prefer chewier cookies.

yum yum yum and very easy.

I agree with the person who suggested flattening the cookies a bit on the cookie pan, unless you want roundish cookies.

Next time I am going to make them with the frosting -- cream cheese. Then they will be beyond divine!

These smell yummy except really sweet.

I made the following modifications:
I halved the recipe to use some leftover canned pumpkin
I didn't have any nutmeg so I put 1 tsp pumpkin spice along with the rest of the spices.
I used both raisins and about 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds
I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup
I used 1/2 cup soy yogurt in replacement of the oil
I used 1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour

I will update when I try them later this afternoon.

They are great moist cookies and not too sweet. My mom says they taste like muffin tops. I am bringing them to class for my report on celiac disease and hope they enjoy them as well. The only thing I would do different next time would be to ommit the raisins and pumpkin seeds, as I am not a fan of raisins or chewy texture in cookies.
