  1. These cookies are delicious and easy to make but I would recommend spraying the aluminum foil with Pam to keep the cookies from sticking. I really wanted to spray the foil but did not see it on the directions so we had to peel the foil off the cookies. My family loved them anyway.
     
  2. i expected these to be more cake-like, but these are like sticky granola bars. it didn't spread to the end of the pan, in fact it looked like a giant oatmeal pancake. but the kids liked the flavor. i agree that some cooking spray would help them from sticking to the tin foil.
