We thought these were a great cookie. Make sure you bake the cookie until the edges are brown by that time the bottom of the cookie is crisp. Once cooled on the pan for about a minute you can actually pick the cookie off the pan- the first batch was a little too light and I needed the spatula. YUMMY Cookie! I did sub honey for the corn syrup.

I added about 1/4 of a cup of chopped macadamia nuts to the mix and it was so yummy :)

Delicious dipped in chocolate!!! For all of those who say they stick to the pan...I line my pan with tin foil, and they peel right off. I also make little bowls and put whipped cream and fruit in them. As soon as they come out of the oven, before removing from the foil, I shape the cookie into a bowl shape using my oven mitt, and a small dish. Hint: tear the foil into individual pieces before putting the cookie batter on the pan, so they are easier to shape.

this recipe was fun to make. i did sub maple syrup for the light corn syrup (as a reviewer suggested) and cooked them a bit longer until they were a warm amber color. used leftover fondue chocolate and coconut flakes and made numerous variations (plain, chocolate spread on top with coconut, sandwiched with chocolate with or without coconut) for my friend's going away party.

I LOVE this resipe--I am a big fan of oatmeal, so that helps! You do have to watch them carefully while baking--however, I like mine a little more done around the edges so I cook them a minute longer or so. Also, I threw in a couple handfuls of milk chocolate chips and some flaked coconut--Yummy!!!!! I'm making another batch right now!

These were exactly the cookies my husband remembered from his childhood. Definitely cook them on tin foil and as the instructions say, LET SET before peeling off the foil. If you do that, these cookies are a cinch to make and really tasty!

These cookies are great! I was a little worried about them sticking so I used parchment paper on my cookie sheets and it worked wonderfully. **I was also low on light corn syrup so I substituted maple pancake syrup, it was delicious!* for a fun holiday treat I put two of them together with a chocolate filling, everyone loves them.

These were great but watch these cookies like a hawk!!!! That will get too brown really quick!!! I also slowed my oven down to 350 since 375 was too high for my oven. I used one of the other reviewers ideas and used maple syrup instead of corn starch and added 1/4 tsp cinnamon. All I can say are are delicious!!!!! Thank for posting!!!
