these were tasty and different.. very addicting. i cut back on the sugar since the other poster said they were too sweet. and they were great. with the red hots in them it makes them very sweet.. i cant say i'd never want another oatmeal cookie with raisons or chocolate. but this was a nice change and made fun valentines day treats. i didnt need to flatten mine AT ALL as they spread perfectly. thanks for a fun idea.
