Splenda makes a brown sugar and you use half the amount of regular brown sugar, which saves not only calories but also cuts down on the sugar! I've used it for several years and you can't tell the difference. Splenda also makes a white sugar for baking that you use half the amount of as well. - 12/6/11

Really enjoyed these cookies - stumbled on the dark chocolate/mint chip mix at Walmart; but have made it with chocolate mint chips from the bulk food store too (they aren't quite as minty as the combo pack) but big hit - thank you. Oat flour grinding tip works very nicely by the way. - 1/15/10

I tried these cookies and the whole family loved them. I love the fact that there is whole wheat flour and that you make flour with oatmeal. It makes it so much healthier. I wish I could eliminate white flour in my diet. I used mint chocolate chips. The cookies weree delicious!!!! - 12/11/09

Delicious! I, too, used the Splenda brown sugar, switched the amount of white flour with the whole wheat and used coconut flour instead of the oats. The grandkids loved it! Substituted semi-sweet chocloate chips andused vanilla flavoring. Will definitely be trying it with the oat flour at some point - 1/5/13
