I just tried this recipe and found it to be quite good. I'm not sure what CAROLINEFO did wrong, but if her attempts came out dry then I don't know what to tell her. My first batch looked so liquidy that I worried that they would not hold their shape and run all over the baking sheet. But my fear proved groundless and they came out fine. My only problem is that mine tasted a bit bland. Though I did add spices: 1 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cloves, & 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I think my problem was too much ginger and not enough nutmeg. (We cooks do love to tinker with recipes, or at least this cook does.) I will update this next time I make them. I'd do it now except I ran out of oatmeal. I had only just enough for the first batch.
