These were very tasty, but a bit too buttery for my liking. Next time I'll try this with half the amount of butter and see how it turns out. I'd also want to try maple syrup instead of corn syrup.

These are very easy to make. They are sweet and crunchy. To me they are a bit bland but chocolate chips added next time will cure that!!

Nice little oatcakes. I made them to go on Christmas cookie trays. One thing I really liked was that they don't need to go into the oven while all the other cookies are baking. Next time I think I'd prefer them in mini muffin cups. Buttery with good texture.
