Excellent oatmeal cookie recipe Uncle Bill! I did not have exactly 1 cup of quick-cooking oats (mabey 3/4 cup), so I added more rice krispies, and used butter in place of margarine. I did not change oven racks, no need to, as I baked them for 8 minutes in my air-convection oven. This recipe makes a lot of cookies so there is really no need to double the recipe. These are a delicious crispy cookie that goes well with a cup of coffee or tea. As all of your other recipes, this is a keeper for me, I look forward to making these again soon. Thanks so much for sharing Uncle Bill!.......Kitten:) -
These were pretty well received by the family. The texture is what they loved, they had no idea that grape nuts and rice krispies were in it! I coated a couple of the cookies in amaranth grain before baking them and they loved that texture :) I didn't do the moving of the cookies because one of our oven racks mysteriously disappeared and I didn't want them sitting out while I moved the rack, but even so they turned out good. Will definately make these again, but perhaps will half the recipe since it made an awfully large batch. -
This was the second recipe I tried from your wonderful cookbook, and I got to admit...I have not been dissappointed!!!! I did sub raisins for pecans, because I love raisins in my oatmill cookies. I did wonder about that baking on lower rack and then moving to middle rack....seemed like an awful lot of bother...but it is your recipe and you said do it...so I did...and I will do it again!!!!! Thanks for the great recipe!!!!
