These were good and easy cookies. I found, though, that they were rather flat and they only needed 10 minutes, as anything more made them brown and get to toasted. The second batch I made I used margarine, as opposed to butter and added one egg. This helped tremendously as the cookies stayed more formed.

Ohhhh my god, these are FABULOUS!!! And so incredibly easy that I'm gonna make this all the time! I halved the recipe (sigh, foolish really, coz I'm gonna hafta make this real soon going by how fast they're disappearing!), used butter, and omitted the vanilla which I was out of. I baked the first batch for 15 minutes, and the second for 20 minutes, which was just right, I think. pollen, thank you so much for this! I think the best part (besides the melt-in-your-mouth texture) is that it doesn't use eggs!

These were pretty easy!! I used margarine and brownulated sugar instead of brown sugar. I made them for my sister-in-law, and she couldn't stop raving about them; she said she would have given them a hundred stars! Someone else said that they would be five stars "without the nuts," which I think meant the oats... They did take a bit longer than 15 minutes to bake. I got thirty cookies out of the recipe. Thanks for posting!
