I followed the recipe perfectly, only I used fresh pumpkin that I had prepared through a food processor and was going to use for pies Christmas time. Perhaps that was my mistake, but the cookies completely flatted and melted into each other in the oven. not to mention they had darkened to a dark brown in 10 min and I had to pull them out, completely ruined. So i decided to chill the dough and add a good cup of oatmeal and 2 cups of flour to the mix to thicken it. Perhaps this time it was the over dose of flour that did it, but the cookies stayed put and cooked nicely -- to powder away in the middle as soon as I tried to take them off the sheet. They'll make a nice ice cream topping... I'm going to try putting the dough in a bread pan and see if it'll make a bar of some sort. two stars

These cookies turned out similar to cookies for dieters baked with applesauce. They were very spongy and not very sweet. Not to mention, you could hardly taste the pumpkin, which is what made this recipe so tempting in the first place! I would probably up the pumpkin and bake as a loaf if I tried this again in the future. They might be more appealing as a bread, since less sweetness is expected. two stars

These cookies smelt soo good while cooking. I thought the ingredients were unusual but they tasted really good. We dont get canned pumpkin so I cooked fresh pumpkin. Will definatly be making again and wrapping them for gifts! five stars

I made these cookies and they came out perfectly. They did not stick to the pan or spread while baking. I did drop batter with a spoon to keep them on the small side. I added extra chocolate chips and they are melt in your mouth good.
I will probably add walnuts the next I make them, there will be a next time. five stars

I love these cookies! Will definately make them again. Perhaps mine were flawless because of modifications I made due to reading other reviews. (Reviews; Great Idea!) First of all, it states to use A QUARTER CUP of batter for each cookie...WAY too much. I used spoon drops, just like I would with a regular chocolate chip cookie dough. Another thing is, with having 1 whole cup of margarine, I really didn't find it necessary to GREASE cookie sheets. And I do love my "Air-Bake" cookie sheets;it's hard to burn a cookie on THEM. five stars

Would not make this again.
While my house smells incredible after baking these I was very disappointed in the results. The cookies spread way too much and were a real pain to scrape off the baking sheet (that I had greased well as directed). Many of the cookies crumbled while I was trying to remove them from the sheet. I tasted the 'irregular' cookies and the flavor isn't terrible but it isn't spectacular either. I omitted the chocolate and the nuts. I am hoping that as they cool the 'crunch' I was looking for sets in. Because they spread so much the corners baked into one another and the cookies are now oddly shaped and that is one of my pet peeves about cookies--I don't like cookies that look like kindergarten kids prepared them! But the house does smell great, that's a treat! two stars

I love these cookies but when I made them as according to recipe, they spread out and got really flat. They were hard to remove from the cookie sheet. I don't know what I did wrong. three stars
