Questions & Replies

Does anyone know if you can use old-fashioned oats instead of the quick cooking oats? Would this make much of a difference? Thanks

I just put a second batch in the oven. Very enjoyable to make ...and eat... even the raw dough. I used EggBeaters instead of egg... it turned out just fine, and I am sure just as good. I'm glad this recipe came up on the net. The little bit of crunch is perfect!

I was at my boyfriend's house looking for something quick yet original to make for a party, so I tried this recipe. The cookies were good and had a delicate, gourmet-esque consistency to them once cooked, but be warned: do not attempt to make 'big' cookies from this recipe (more than two tablespoons). I tried this only to meet disaster. Keep them small, though, and they will be a hit. I'm only giving three stars instead of four only because I got really excited in thinking these would have some sort of 'cornflake' or 'oatmeal' quality to them- the batter, when sampling while baking the rest, sure did, but the finished product was just a decent, somewhat chewy (although still good) cookie. If you were expecting what I was, maybe add more than 1/2 of a cup of the oats and cornflakes. I'll surely keep this recipe around and play with the ingredients, thanks for sharing!

Great great! Oldest daughter loved crushing the corn flakes - she crunched in her hands, sat on them, stepped on them... HAHAHA Kids thought these were yummy. I even used part of the batch to make some with mini choc chips (YUM) and craisins (good) and some larger ones (2 TB rather than the 1 TB). These will be great in their lunches...I've frozen them...as I do almost all batches of cookies.
