These just may be the best cookie I have ever made! I am new to the vegan baking thing, but I love it. These are soft and chewy and just wonderful! I love knowing that my kids can eat the dough and I don't really have to worry about it. All 3 of the kids love them I could eat about 3 dozen of them myself. I did leave out the nutmeg and cranberries as suggested by the others. Thank you sooo much for making my first attempt at vegan cookies a success!

Yay! Wow I really love these! Took out the nutmeg per Yaffa's advice and these are my new favorite. And they're actually sort of healthy! Love them. Thank you!

We all loved them! My vegan son and the rest of us non-vegans! We used chocolate chips instead of cranberries and cooked them for 7 mins rather than 8.....wonderful! But when we left out the nutmeg we liked them even better!

Can't believe I'm the first to try these cookies, they're terrific! The peanut butter taste is not too strong. I used less oats, but still had to add extra soymilk; replaced the "butter" with applesauce, and used frozen cranberries. They are very soft and oaty-chewiness yum yum! Thanx!
