"No flour in these just oats, and they are chewy fantastic! use regular oats not quick cooking."

Ok fast forward to 2015 ....I made these wonderful cookies with chunky peanut butter and did not add additional nuts. I also used M & M's instead of the chocolate. What could be better than a peanut butter oatmeal cookie with M & M's! wow these are good.

Awesome cookies! Used maple extract and instead of nuts, added an extra handful of chocolate chunks. Was lazy so stirred in all of the oats and chocolate without decorating the tops. Made the cookies a little larger than regular cookies, but not 1/4 cup size. Great cookies, perfect for lunch boxes. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These are great, I made them for a friend who has gluten intolerance and she loved them. She was not the only one to approve, my whole family gobbled them up...they did not last long:) Will definitely make again. The only change I made was to not make them as big, used an 1/8 cup instead of 1/4 cup and they were still plenty big for us to enjoy:) Thanks for the great recipe.

These were great. I made them with splenda (and sugar free chips) for my mom who can't eat sugar or wheat and I think they are the best cookie for her I've ever made! I enjoyed them too even with the splenda (normally I don't). I'm so glad my mom will have cookies for Christmas like the rest of us!
