Hey, not to be a downer, these look pretty healthy and low-fat but they can't be fat-free - there's oil in them!

I agree, they're not completely fat-free, but this amount of oil divided among a couple dozen (or more) cookies will not be very much.

I baked these last night and used dairy-free chocolate chips instead of raisins. Decadent and delicious. I love pairing pumpkin and chocolate. I also made a couple with dried cranberries instead of the raisins. Those were really great, too. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Wow, these were so good. I made them and just substituted a few things: skipped the oil and used an extra 1/3 cup pumpkin, for the spices I used 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice. The recipe made a total of 49 cookies for me. The result was delicious! Thanks for sharing. I would include a picture but I can't figure how to do it on here.

I wonder how they would be if you used applesauce instead of the oil?
