I usually follow a recipe exactly first time around, and I am glad I did, these were terrific. Not too sweet, nice and crunchy. Will be making these on a regular basis.

Mmmmmm, Dorothy, these are soooooooooo good! I used salted butter, and was hoping it wouldn't ruin the recipe, but it turned out great! I didn't change a thing, but had to bake for 20 minutes in my notoriously slow oven. A tip: Remove these from the cookie sheet onto the cooling rack quickly. Once they start to cool on the sheet, they tend to get stuck to it, and break when you try to pry them loose :-) My whole family loves these! According to my sister, "The cinnamon did it!"

Having a sweet tooth tonight, I was looking for a low fat cookie recipe. I love oatmeal cookies! I think I rolled these out too thick so they came out more like little bicuits than cookies, but they still tasted good. I sprinkled a bit more sugar and cinnamon on top.
