Questions & Replies

  1. Why is the heat so high, started burning at 10 mins, cut down to 350 for second sheet, much better

  1. Nice cookie recipe. Boy did mine spread! And I agree that 400 is too high of heat, my first batch was burnt on the edges and raw inside. So I lowered it to 350 and the next batch looked a lot better. I'll admit they taste great!
     
  2. This is a very nice recipe. I was scared to bake the cookies at 400 degrees, so i lowered the temp to 350 (the way it usually is). the flavor is great, and the texture is really soft and chewey. thanks for posting!
     
  3. This made a nice dessert tonight! My first batch I overcooked, but the second was perfect,and so yummy. I halved the recipe, cause I'm the only one eating these. Goody! Thanks so much! Oh, I did use old fashioned oats, don't think it made too much difference.
