Great recipe. I found that pressing dough into 8 x 8 pan and baking is great, or even better forming dough into log and chilling overnight then slicing and baking is even better. Great flavor, my husband loves them!

Very simple recipe, but taste great! Cookies are lightly sweet, great for people who don't have a sweet tooth. Final mixing of the creamed butter/sugar with the flour/oatmeal does take a bit of a strong arm, but definitely worth the effort. I used a touch of almond extract in mine, which turned out well.

This was a very big hit in my family--everyone wanted the recipe at Christmas. Best method for me was rolling into a log, then slicing. For a different (and really yummy) flavor and texture, try six-grain "oat"meal. We discovered this when it was the only thing in the house to use (CA grocery strike). Also was very good with raw sugar sprinkled over the top before baking--gives cookies a bit of a sparkle and a touch of sweetness.
