Mmmm - very tasty! I wasn't sure what was meant by 'thick cut oatmeal' was so I used steel cut oatmeal. Not bad but it gave a little extra 'nutty' kind of texture. Very tasty but I think next time I'll 'bump it up' and use old fashioned oats, add a little more nuts (for taste) and cranberries and, possibly some chopped dates and add a little more spices. Thanks for the tasty and healthy recipe!

What tasty little cookies these are! I have made them twice now (my boyfriend just devours them) and this is definitely a recipe that I'll keep making. My changes: whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour, I doubled the cinnamon, and I added two teaspoons of almond extract. Thank you for posting.
