Wonderful cookies

My 9,6 and 2yr olds loved these cookies. They really couldn't care they were healthy or not, they literally inhaled them. I loved that they were not very sweet and it has the fiber boost with the oatmeal.

Pros: Soft, and chewy. Not very sweet

Better the second time around...

I found that processing the oats minimally gives the recipe a great texture and adding an extra 1/4 tsp of salt makes them even more flavorful. The first time I made them they were alright, but the second time around I cannot stop eating them.

the batter is sweet enough that you don't even need chocolate chips! that should cut the calorie too, and also from now on i would just make half of the recipe since it makes a TON of cookies!

Good cookies

I made these cookies for my teenage son who is very picky. Him and his friends all loved them.....I didn't tell them they were healthier!

Satisfying

I found this recipe and was hesitant. I have to start eating better. At first I didnt read the instructions just the ingredients. I didnt grind the oats. Came out just as good. More satisfying.
No big deal... But my dough mixture came out crumbly. I had to hand roll and flatten the cookies. Is there something I didnt do?
