  1. I didn't like them at all. They tasted like honey, and only honey. I couldn't even taste the peanutbutter. I didn't like the texture of the oats either. Other people liked them though, this is just my opinion. I think you need to like honey a lot to appreciate these cookies.
     
  2. I really liked these cookies and they were so quick to make. I omitted the topping, increased the honey to 3/4 cup instead of using the sugar and had to add a little extra flour. They turned out great!
     
  3. I'm one of those people that could eat a whole jar of Skippy's Honey Peanutbutter in one sitting, so this cookie was perfect for me. Even my un-American kids, who abhor peanutbutter (more for me) enjoyed these cookies. The topping may be optional, but don't leave it out. Dornette #4 helped me make these cookies, and her favorite part was dipping the cookies into the topping. Actually, her favorite part was dipping her fingers into the topping... Good one, Rick!

I'm not much of a cook, but I have a long history of avidly adoring the end results of cooking. Before retirement I worked as a crime scene investigator (No, I don't know as much as the stars of CSI apparently do and Yes, I am just as good looking), which means liver is not at the top of my list for dinner. My favorite son, who is an excellent cook, alerted me to this site and I'm finding it fascinating. I enjoy languages. Can't figure out why everyone doesn't learn Esperanto. :) My greatest passion is my 17 year old wife. Well, she was 17 when I met her and 37 years later she still looks the same as far as I am concerned so she must be still 17, right? Next in order are our kids: Two biological, 1 adopted, 4 foster, and one exchange student who either belongs to us or to some people in Japan (personally I think she belongs to us!!) Next passion are the 15 (to date) grandkids. Peeves? Onions!! I loathe, hate, disdain, detest, abhor, and simply dislike 'em. A month off? Visit the kids!! After that? Maybe, just maybe, update my web page.
