This recipe is essentially oats with a little bit of sugar, flour, and butter. Next time I will just cut another oatmeal cookie recipe in half. -
Hi, I know what you mean about having lot's of cookies looking at you, that is what made me look twice at this recipe. If my grandkids are not coming over I don't want too many as I would just eat them all myself, so this was perfect and it is a good recipe as well. I just did them without the add ins but next time I will add a bit of something to them, on there own they are not too sweet a cookie which is fine for me nice to have with milk before bedtime.
