    Very good! I was out of WW flour so I made it with unbleached all-purpose. I can't wait to try it with WW flour. Use the ratio of 2/2 if you want a softer cookie. - 9/30/07

    These turned out a little drier than I expected, but my husband and daughter love them, and that's what matters! - 9/13/11

    I'm sure the recipe would have been just fine as is, but I increased the cinnamon to one teaspoon, reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup sugar and added one egg white. It worked. - 1/14/11

    Thank you! Even though I haven't baked them yet, I give you 5 star for the idea! - 12/22/10

    I made this w/ 2cups flour and oatmeal.I also used sugar free chocolate chips w/ no fruit.It came out better than I expected as I checked on them but the dough was a little plain.I think I should have put the nutmeg to help that issue, but I did do the rest.Ill see what I can do about it next time - 9/18/09

    I just made these tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea how they would turn out, but they are soft and very similar to traditional oatmeal cookies. Great recipe! - 7/8/09
