“I made these cookies for the first time years ago. I love a crispy cookie and I rarely make oatmeal because they tend to be soft and chewy. These really deliver on crispy!!  I use chocolate chips and I sprinkle a little Fleur de Sel for the salty/sweet taste.” — a cook, 5.0★
“These came out great. I made a few substitutions: canola oil instead of butter, whole wheat flour  instead of all purpose flour.  And I added flax seeds and chia seeds.  Next time, I will use a little less canola oil and a little less sugar.” — a cook, 5.0★
