I LOVE LOVE LOVE these cookies like there's no tomorrow. I usually omit the nuts because my stomach can't handle nuts well. But these are FABULOUS!!!!...and make an amazing after school snack for kids. If I want to give them a treat I will make "legal" icing and let them dip their oatmeal cookies in it.

they do sound good, i will have to give them a try also. crystal

Thanks Crystal ... I love to bake these for my grandkids. It feels good knowing I am giving them something healthy.
