I had some problems with this recipe, but they were still really good. I followed the recipe except used chocolate chips instead of raisins and found the mixture to be so dry that I couldn't get it to stick together. I baked one pan with it as written (which was very hard to keep together) and they were very crumbly though tasty. After that I added just a bit of milk and the cookies stayed together better but the cheerios were no longer crunchy which dissapointed me. Also, cooking them at the time specified, in my oven, made them burn. So I had to bake them for a shorter period of time. We thought the cookies were great, though I'd change things up just a tad next time. That said, it was a good way to use up some of the extra cheerios in the house!
