These are delicious! I added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, very good. -
These are wonderful - perfect for a sweet snack or for breakfast! -
Robb, these are FANTASTIC. I made them for a church bake sale and they went over HUGE. When I make them again, I might just add another egg or egg white to get a better consistency for my personal taste. The crunchy Grape Nuts are wonderful with the oats. Such an unusual combo that lead to great texture. -
These cookies were wonderful! We love crunchy cookies and recipes are hard to find for crispy. I plan to modify this recipe using different add-ins. -
This is a huge hit! I changed it around a bit. I used 2 sticks of butter (not 3 and not margarine), 1/2 cup of applesauce (to make up for the butter), 1 cup of dried cherries, 1/2 cup finely chopped pecansa AND 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. FABULOUS! The grapenuts make the whole cookie heartier than a plain oatmeal. You will love these!

Used 1/2 raisins and 1/2 chocolate chips as that was what I had. Also less white sugar.

I love the crunch of these cookies! I had to make 4 dozen cookies for the school's cookie exchange and I had been wanting to make these for a while. I used 3 sticks of butter instead of margarine. These are truly awesome cookies. -
I have made these with butter instead of margarine. I have also added chocolate chips and substituted dried cherries for the cranberries. They are chewy and crunchy and my family loved them. we love grapenuts anyway and this is a good way to use them.
