Robb, these are FANTASTIC. I made them for a church bake sale and they went over HUGE. When I make them again, I might just add another egg or egg white to get a better consistency for my personal taste. The crunchy Grape Nuts are wonderful with the oats. Such an unusual combo that lead to great texture.

These cookies were wonderful! We love crunchy cookies and recipes are hard to find for crispy. I plan to modify this recipe using different add-ins.

This is a huge hit! I changed it around a bit. I used 2 sticks of butter (not 3 and not margarine), 1/2 cup of applesauce (to make up for the butter), 1 cup of dried cherries, 1/2 cup finely chopped pecansa AND 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. FABULOUS! The grapenuts make the whole cookie heartier than a plain oatmeal. You will love these!
