My housemates get very excited when I tell them that I'm making these!

Very easy to make. The texture is a litte more cake-like maybe because of the oats and butter quantity. They weren't too sweet. Next time I'll use a bit more cinnamon and pat them out a little thicker. I think I made them too thin. Nice recipe Nancy. I will make these again.
