I agree that the recipe is missing something- it's rather bland, although it has good spice flavor. It needs a little salt added, which can possibly be remedied by using salted butter. I drizzled icing over the top of them, and then my kids gobbled them down. I baked them for 27 minutes at 350, and the texture turned out perfect.

Great peanut butter/oatmeal taste. I substituted butter for the shortening. I thought they were a tad salty, even for a peanut buttery cookie; so I would reduce the amount of salt to 1/2 tsp. in future batches, if using butter again!

I found this to be an interesting and authentic recipe... with 21st century ease.
