I loved these cookies. I love the nutty flavor with the oatmeal. Mine came out crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. I actually got about 60 cookies out of this recipe so maybe I made mine smaller than yours. I baked the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes and they turned out perfect. Thanks for such a good cookie!

These are great cookies. I love the flavor that is added by the ground pecans (I only had a 1/4 cup). I also used old fashioned oats, not quick, and they still came out fine. I made my cookies a little big not realizing how much whey would spread, so I only got 37. I baked them for 10 minutes. Very yummy!

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
