Though this cookie looked pretty and held its shape through the baking process, I did not find the taste or texture likable. Perhaps it was the confectioner's sugar and oil as those were the things I tasted. After baking one batch I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla looking for flavor but that didn't remedy the blandness.

My advice, "Double it!" This is a recipe the kids will love! I doubled the batch, made one bread a bit smaller than the second and oh my, how beautiful was the larger (i.e. higher) one! The best part was the taste! Phenomenal! I like this recipe with or without the sugar depending on my mood. If you like yours sweet, go all the way with the sugar. If you don't like sweet cornbread, leave it out - you can't go wrong. Awesome either way! Funny story...only had grits last night and no cornmeal. Put it through the coffee grinder, substituted and out came the most delicious cornbread and no one had the slightest idea. I live in Spain where we make do with what we have. Delicious! I will look no further. I have found the perfect cornbread recipe! THANKS!

I tried this recipe as written and found the cake way too sweet w/so sweet a topping. Another problem may have been that I used 1-minute oatmeal. With so much icing the cake came out soggy. In my opinion, if you have to tweak a recipe, I don't think it should receive 5 stars. If you tweak it, why not resubmit w/adjustments to make the recipe better?
