    These were delicious! I expected them to be harder and taste like some "health food". They were soft and surprisingly great tasting! - 11/11/09

    We really like these! Even my husband who doesn't like whole wheat flour used in anything enjoyed them....hard to stop at just one though!

    These are very tasty! With so little fat, I didn't expect them to be as good as they are -- sort of like trail mix meets oatmeal meets cookie. Thanks for sharing this recipe! - 2/15/10
