A fantasic recipe and SO easy! I didn't have any quick cook oats so I used regular scotts oats and cooked them in with the wet stuff for approx. 15 mins with about double the amount of milk. This was pretty much spot on - the oats were good and soft and the extra milk kept it moist for the longer cooking time. I used splenda instead of sugar (about 1.5cups), low fat butter (it's all we ever have in the house), low fat peanut butter and skimmed milk, and they still came out a treat. Just like another reviewer, I couldn't stop eating the mixture and had to drag myself away while the cookies cooled and set (I ended up with only 11, having eaten about 4 cookies worth...). These were so fabulous though - moist and gooey and so flavoursome considering how simple and easy they are to make! The cocoa (which I'm not usually a fan of) worked wonderfully and the oats made for a filling cookie with a great texture. With the low fat substitutions it's really quite a healthy cookie and it doesn't taste low fat AT ALL. My (picky) other half dug in when they were ready and nearly fell over when I told him they were actually comparatively healthy! An excellent recipe and a definite keeper. It takes a lot for me to give out 5 stars! I certainly wish my school cafeteria had made these when I was younger! Thanks Paula!
