Very nice cookies indeed and a welcome variation on the usual oatmeal cookie. I use Splenda brown and granulated for the sugars and upped the cinnamon in the 18 cookies that I made. The make a tasty, solid, cookie that would well pack into lunches or any take along. We found them to be just a bit dry when eaten alone but they are perfect with some tea, coffee or milk.
