These are quite bad. I'm a dough eater before cooking and these weren't sweet then...so i added another 1/4 cup sugar which only improved it marginally, but I cooked them anyway. They were rock-hard and STILL have no flavour. I was hoping these would satisfy my chocolate craving but they are just too terrible to eat.

these are the worst cookies i have ever tasted! i would never recommend them to anyone as soon as i finished making them and tried them, they went right into the trashcan along with this recipe!

Delicious. My boyfriend thought they weren't sweet enough, so he made a small amount of vanilla butter icing to dip the cookie in. Personally I liked them best without the icing!

These aren't your traditional cookie, but they are definitely good for how healthy they are (containing no refined flour.) I used old fashioned rolled oats, which came out nice and chewy. I think these could be a great candidate for more experimentation with nuts, flax seed, wheat germ, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, etc. They'd be great crumbled up in ice cream (or, better yet, coconut milk ice cream.) Overall pretty good!
