These cookie are excellent. They taste better than a full fat/sugary version. Great flavor with a nice undertone of honey. Texture is smoother than a typically oatmeal cookie, not too dry or moist. Delicious! -
I'm sure the cookies are delicious, but to label this recipe 'low fat' is misleading - it's 13% fat and most of that is saturated. Each one is 160 calories! Two would equal two eggs with two slices of toast. NOT guilt free exactly...
