the flavor of these cookies were delicous but the ingredients didnt work so well. my first 2 batches became cookie granola because they were so flat i had to scrape them into a bowl. so i kept adding flour and finally after i had added maybe 1/2cup flour and a huge handful of oats more than the recipe called for they finally were able to stay in cookie shape to come off the pan. i added chocolate chips to the last batch or so and that was delious. i got over 4 dozen cookies with the added flour and oats to stiffen them up. but like i mentioned they did taste delicous and not a cookie (or crumble in the bowl) was left.

Amazing cookies. Incredible flavor. They flattened out, so allow for that. Crispy, chewy texture. Were gone about 2 hours after I set them out. Wow.

These cookies are delicious! I make them all the time, and everyone I've made them for just raves about how incredible they are. I tell them... "you won't be able to eat just one!" And I'm usually right. I also think the recipe is quite easy, though I usually forget to pull the egg and butter out of the fridge, so I'm in a hurry to get them to room temperature. I read Sprue's review, and I can't figure out what went wrong there. The recipe has worked perfectly for me every time.
