These are yummy! I have to agree with one reviewer that the "dough" was way too soft. As a precaution I did grind up an extra 3/4 cup of oats and left them off to the side until everything was mixed up. I added the extra oats and 1/2 chopped pecans- YUM! The sweet brown sugar taste was delicious in these chewy cookies. I used parchment paper to line my pans and then cooled the cookies on the pans for about 4 minutes. They lifted right off. Made for Spring PAC 2009

I couldn't get the consistency right with these. I had to add flour because it was too watery and even then they spread too much. I couldn't serve them to my guests beacuse they covered the whole cookie sheet, however they sure tasted good when DH and I ate them alone.

Very good and easy to make. What I did was split the batch into 3 parts. The frist part I mixed in 1 tablespoon of cocoa. In the second I put 1 tablespoon of honey. The last I left alone. I think I like the honey ones the best. I did not try cocoa and honey maybe next time.
