Quick & easy recipe. :) I make these using melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I have even made these with freshly ground soft white wheat berries & the cookies were still soft & moist. I like the fact that this doesn't make a huge batch - using a size 40 scoop, I get 2 dozen cookies of equal size. Thanks for sharing!

I just made these because I needed a recipe that didn't use solid fat. (was out. :-( ) The texture on these is fantastic! I found the temp and time perfect. I rolled mine in cinnamon sugar before baking. I did find the taste a little bit flat and was very glad I rolled them in something. I will definitely make again but will take the advise of another reviewer and add additional vanilla as well as replacing some of the oil with butter.
