Loved them! So easy! My daughter wanted homemade cookies today and I didn't have a lot of time so I whipped these up. Wonderful and easy to munch one after another. They have told me they prefer this recipe to my standard snickerdoodle recipe (which they've always loved).

Made these for a church dinner, and then again for work. Everbody loved them, felt they were eating healthier with the oatmeal. Didn't bother with rolling them in the cinnamon & sugar and they were wonderful.

This recipe was great. When we did it we made smaller cookies [about the size of a medium marble] and got 103 cookies. they turned out perfect! and they're the perfect size for our kids. Also did some without the cinnamon/sugar topping and they were great too.
